Yay time for duffy and some vested interest to tell us we should'nt be able to have a drink more than once a month.

The revenue stays with the retailer, and its not all of canada by the way its one tiny portion that isnt even comparable.

Joe pays 20 euro a glass

Joe doesn't seem to approve of "slabs" of beer. Nothing but the finest Chateauneuf du Pape for our Joe.

sligojoek

No more cheap drink. Joe's gonna love this.

http://health.spectator.co.uk/stop-telling-us-that-minimum-alcohol-pricing-works-in-canada-its-nonsense/

One of the abiding myths about minimum pricing for alcohol is that there is real world evidence from Canada that it ‘works’. This is important to campaigners because the rest of their evidence is based on a questionable computer model from Sheffield University. The best known factoid about the Canadian experience is that a small rise in the minimum price led to alcohol-related deaths falling by a third in the province of British Columbia, thus leading The Guardian to conclude that ‘Canada is proof that state-controlled drinking is good for health’.

Unfortunately, this is nonsense on stilts. Alcohol-related deaths never fell by a third or anything close to a third. In fact, the annual number of deaths directly attributed to alcohol rose from 315 to 443 in British Columbia during the period in question (2002 to 2011). The number of alcohol-related hospitalisations also rose.

I'd imagine plenty of Canucks are brewing their own, at those prices.

Will this cause a cross border beer buying spree for xmas...?

Harry Angstrom

Canada, the most boring country on the planet.

The supermarkets will find a way around this.

There are not many bottles of wine for under €8.

Happy Valley El Plonko's sales will suffer greatly.

Anyone know where Joe is seeing these slabs of beer for 20 euro? He seems to think that is the price across the board.
