A must read for this morning,
Will Self in the First Post who eulogies about our drink culture
This country has always had a very schizoid attitude towards alcohol
he says addiung that Liam Donaldson despite the rumblings of the Labour party has got it right on the correlation between consumption and price
the net effect of minimum pricing would be to increase the price - and so restrict the availability - of precisely the budget liquors (the alcopops, the extra-strength lagers, the turpentine vodkas) favoured by - 'hic' - alcoholics and the kind of yoof who rampage up and down the pedestrian precincts of our miserable clone towns, like Calibans enraged by their reflections in the plate glass of bankrupt chain retailers.
