It works out at £1.30 a bottle, with an initial equipment investment of around £60. Anyone can do it. That is why this policy is doomed to failure.

How will the minimum price be set? By forcing the brewer or retailer to sell at a higher price than they would otherwise thus increasing their profit? Unlikely, the government shows no sign of being eager to increase the profitability of the private sector. Or by increasing the tax on alcohol? Of course, that is how they will do it.Mark.V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-68906162854551713922012-09-07T21:18:29.766+01:002012-09-07T21:18:29.766+01:00Ken said:

Apparently this will ‘save’ 17 lives a year.<br />This, along with a minimum alcohol pricing policy has absolutely nothing to do with safety or protecting people’s lives or health.<br /><br />The situation is worse in Spain where they are debating to lower the drink-drive limit to zero!<br />Apparently, even the tiniest drop of alcohol in Spain can seriously reduce your ability to drive a car. Therefore, depending on how much you have had to drink, you may have to wait between several hours and a few days before you are deemed fit to drive.<br />There can be no food eaten which is prepared with alcohol, certain cough mixtures and mouth wash products will also have to be avoided. There will be no excuses, on the spot fines will have to be paid. Only the very rich and the very determined will pay to appeal the fines.<br /><br />Of course, you will not lose points from your licence unless you are over the present limit. The Spanish government merely want to fine you whilst keeping you on the road for further fines and taxes.<br /><br />The will be the bizarre situation where airline pilots will be deemed to be incapable from driving a car on Spanish roads, but once at the airports are under the international drink-fly limit of 20mg, so can quite safely and legally take off with a plane load of passengers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-87397951024302919942012-09-07T12:26:08.041+01:002012-09-07T12:26:08.041+01:00"...but what’s much more hidden is quiet, bel..."...but what’s much more hidden is quiet, below the radar drinking at home and it’s very easy for people to drink more than they are actually aware of, to get above the safe limits.” <br /><br />I enjoy a tipple at home - can someone explain to me how I'd go about drinking more than I'm actually aware of?<br />And what does "below the radar" mean in this instance?
