Personally I'd have two levels of duty on alcohol with off-sales being taxed and minimum priced to encourage responsible levels of drinking in pubs where the landlord can be partially held responsible for their patrons.

I hope not.
I bought a bottle of Vodka (1 ltr) for £20 and if you work it out to 25ml units there are 40 of them which works out to 50p per measure. If you work out what it work cost a pub prices then the £20 bottle would become £80 per litre  , then I would become tee-total.
