Heard from the other half earlier that Scotland have passed some law in their equivilant of government with regards to the cheap deals on booze we all know and love

Anyone any idea if this be true? I'm too lazy to look on the news websites

 

Yeah its true. They are talking about setting a minimum price per unit of alcohol. Price not set yet. Also ban of 2 for 1 deals.

 

Banning 2 for 1 deals - I know scottish people are tight fuckers sometimes, but that takes the piss

 

Might make it 21 and over only too

 

quite easy answer to that, get cheap drugs instead

 

This won't make much difference as most places up here ask for ID if you don't look 21 already. I'm 29 and have been ID'd a good few times in the space of a few months when buying drink!

 

but wont the people near the boarder just pop across to england and stock up on all the cheap deals here

 

They have said they won't up the age limit at the moment that will be down to local licensing boards. http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/poli...ice.5028899.jp

 

We are in the worst recession in living memory, and this is what the politicians come up with? Who pays these jokers????

 

I know they dont live in the real world

 

I don't think it has actually been passed, just suggested.
Not really surprised as my local concil have been going on about this for years and had local licencing laws changed so that cheap drinks and 2 4 1 offers are a thing of the past. I can see their point to be honest, if you look at the statistics of alcohol related violence and health problems due to alcohol, they have increased. Do I think it'll make a difference.....NO.

 

As above i don't think it's been passed yet. Spar down the road from me is still selling the ultimate cheap cider "Frosty Jack" Ł2 for 2ltr, and has various offers on big bottles of Smnof Ice & WKD

 

TBH its actually a good idea!!! the jobless CHAV scum will not be able to buy so much booze on thier dole money so wont be so pissed - hence reduction in crime.

Might make it more expensive for binge drinkers and "problem" drinkers too. Which can only be a good thing.

People who drink within reasonable limits wont be effected too much.

 

Should introduce it in England too. May help to curb all these kids spending their pocket money on Special Brew and cheap cider. Doubt it, but we can live in hope.

 

Yea, but a vast majority of CHAV/NED scum on the dole are smack'd out their tits up here Warren Penalver... so wont make too much difference to them either.

IMO, the time and effort would be better spent trying to make the Methadone Programme a bit more tough on the junky fuckers that have no intention of going clean and see the Methadone as free stuff to fill in between hits of smack.

fucking hell, YES.

Hope this becomes law, Then there will be a influx of good quality gear comming in.


Fuck drink do pills

About fucking time. lol

 

More legislating for idiots.
Good idea or not, people should be able to sell things at whatever price they want.
