Banditry Reversion to the mean

we're drinking less alcohol now than we did in 1900.

and as for the minimum unit price on alcohol - its a smoke screen - its illegal under EU law, the Greeks tried it with tobacco and had to reverse it

Happy to help with a few facts! :)

A question to understand your facts - what would be the price of a UK pack of cigarettes without any government price control?

It may not be a minimum price - however pricing can easily be set by the use of excise duty of a licensed product.

I have just read that link - whilst I cannot dispute his average consumption figures - I can only describe his conclusions that he offers as 'musings' as moronic.

I. but why is this yet again a sticking plaster approach by the government (and a revenue raiser, which to some extent it is)?

. We need o tackle the social issues, not try for a quick fox that just won't work. ,

this is the crux of the matter , deal with the real issues don't try to put a sticking plaster over a more serious social problem.

You could start by showing the bad pictures!
