This morning while getting ready to leave the house we had some guy on the BBC breakfast news from Alcohol Concern promoting increased taxes on booze to cut binge drinking. Then at work we have BBC News 24 playing in the canteen. Another guy from Alcohol Concern was on there with the same line. Why is there nobody voicing their opposition to higher alcohol taxes? Why should I pay more to have a drink simply because some chav kids are getting pi55ed and causing fights. It seems to me that this is simply a campaign to increase taxes so that it can be justified in the budget next week.
If they wanted to stop kids getting pi55ed then the easiest way is to cut their supply by hitting the retailers if they sell to underage kids rather than fining everybody else.
