OldNotWise I nearly cried when I heard that on the radio. Why should I be punished cos some little scrote wants to drink till she/he falls over.
Never mind that, the "health benefit" thing is just a smoke screen! They don't actually care if we drink ourselves to death. In fact they would popbably like that as it would be less pensions to pay out. The real reason is they have publican friends that they want to line the pockets of - and they can't do that if we are able to sit at home and drink. They also know that people who do binge drink at home are going to continue doing so, regardless of the cost. And for people affected by alcoholism? Well there'll be even less money left over for food and school books Why has nobody said this out loud? Am I the only one who can see through it? Of course if you say anything, you're an alcoholic. If you say you're not, you're in denial. 0 -

We have a huge problem with drink in this country, and that problem is the Government and their clodhopper mates. As an aside, I'd nearly bet a day's pay that publicans will finagle an excuse out of this to raise the price of my pint of Plain as well. :mad:0 -

You're not ONW, not by a long shot. The number of times I've seen children start school in September with no uniform and even worse no school books because their parents spent the back to school allowance on hiked up alcohol and cigarettes... absolutely infuriating.
Price hikes didn't work for cigarettes, they're not going to work for alcohol, because the people that suffer aren't the selfish fcuks that are lining their own pockets and killing their own livers, it's the next generation that comes after them will take the hit for their parents' ineptitude and the politicians pandering to special interest lobby groups and vintners' groups with vested interests.0 -

We'll have to have some TTTAY babies to carry on the thread after we're gone. Of course, there'll be no breast milk or baby on board signs or baby yoga for them, and they'll never dream of running into other peoples trollies in supermarkets or making baby reindeer cry or making a scene in a cafe. Nobody will ever post about them on facebook or use them as an excuse not to go out, or say things like, "you wouldn't understand". They will be super babies.

Yay, count me in for the booze cruise! The bottle of wine is the only thing keeping me sane these days:( I've already produced my TTTAY replacement, she's already well on her way to being just as much of a whingebag as me, and would tell you black was white...0 -

You got that right.
My mother has smoked since she was 13 and she's now nearly 60 and if the government came along in the morning and said the price of a packet of cigarettes was going up to €20, her 20+ cigarettes a day habit would not suffer.
Same goes for alcohol, never in my whole life did changes to the way alcohol is bought, served or priced make any difference to my father's drinking.0 -
