Most spirits are more than £11.20 anyway so the pensioner who likes a tipple (they tend to stick to known brand names) and the person who likes a drop of Famous Grouse isn't going to be put off or made to pay more by this. It's the idiots getting stupidly drunk on bar specials or the kids clubbing together to but a bottle of white cider who will be hit.

Saying that though I voted no as I'd rather see the idiots on their night out binge drinking or the shopkeepers selling to under age drinker being made to take a lot more responsibility for their actions..

Perhaps those with excess alcohol should be made to pay for NHS care the same way as you do with car accidents, the section 5 public order £80 fines should be doubled and the shopkeepers should instantly lose their off-licences if they sell to underage.

Let's hit those breaking the law or with no common sense than those who enjoy a sensible drink.
