I vote no because there is no proof that it will work.Only a small minority abuse cheap alcohol and frankly if they won't listen to all the advice then they won't worry about paying more for alcohol either.They will still go out and get bladdered on a weekend.

After all smokers were paying silly money (and still are) but it didn't stop them smoking.The only thing that worked was a public smoking ban.

I suggest something similar has to be introduced and the rules on supplying alcohol to underage drinkers should be implemented far more than they are and the punishments should be far more stringent and vicious.And yes I know many of those in the city centres are not all underage but I bet they got the habit as underage drinkers.
That's the group that really should be targeted because they turn into the irresponsible drunken yobs of the future.
