what a fucking STUPID idea
how the fuck is 30p on a bacardi breezer going to stop me buying it? like most people (ie teenagers) that buy these drinks i have a job and almost no real commitments, so 30p either way doesnt matter a jot.
on a related note, i noticed that when me and a mate bought some alch a few days ago we BOTH had to give in id ____________________ killa wrote: Im an ass man myself |

So instead of doing something about underage drinking they slap more tax on it so adults have to pay extra also? Its not to stop them buying it its an excuse for them to get more money clearly.
I was flattered when asked for ID myself not so long ago in an off licence. But if they are asking 26 year old women for id they must be shite cause the 14 year olds where around the corner drinking away just after visiting their offy. ____________________ All the breast.

In typical Tory fashion this is actually a class based tax, you can't have riffy little chavs lollin' about get pissed, so you put the price up on their tipple and reduce the price of the tipple of the middle clarses and look after your own. I remember the budgets of Clarke, Lamont, and Major from the 80's and 90's 10p on a pint of beer, fuck all on wine and whiskey, 10p on a packet of fags, fuck all on cigars and pipe tobacco, nothing has changed. ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

A load of old f*ckin bollox. The government needs to look at the bigger picture. There are a lot more urgent issues plagueing this country and the laws and punishments are at best 'laughable'. I remember the days a copper wouldn't bat a eyelid about clouting you around the head for misbehaving - Not now. I have a job that takes me far and wide dealing with issues taken on by recent governments that have turned our 'beloved' country into something hardly recognisable as 'Great Britain'. So taxing alchohol is going to solve the problem???... more like ensure a healthier pension for our great politicians!

Its not THAT stupid it uses classical economic theory ie price goes up reduces demand, but as said when I say price goes up it REALLY has to go up say £10 , rather than 30p lipservice which means demand will stay relatively the same , with just more going to the government coffers. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

I don't care, I don't drink the shit. But I see at as a good idea, how often do you see tossers smashed out of the tits on this shit. The money these drinks cost the tax payer through, hospitals and police etc. is far more than other drinks.
Maybe it's the places I go out (Romford and Portsmouth ) but this is what I have seen on my 4 years or so on the 'Club' scene. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Fact, maybe not but heres a tip for those of you who drink copious amounts of alcohol
Before a night of heavy drinking you should do the following: Eat one banana, two pieces of brocolli, an orange, some red jelly and a chocolate bar.
It wont stop you from being sick, it just makes it more colourful for those who have to clear it up after you ____________________ Check out our tackle shop on Facebook:

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 16 years, 97 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
