"protect"? We should protect red squirrel population, not some idiots living on your tax money who can't get through a day without a box of cheap alcohol. They are adult people, responsible for their life choices. I don't want to pay more for something just because Paddy McInbreed stocks up on Special Brew in his council flat.
Somehow many European countries don't have ridiculous laws regarding pub opening hours or alcohol pricing, so normal people can enjoy it how and when they want. And yet when you see a slutty teenagers vomiting in a taxi in France or Spain, you can be 90% certain they're British.

Only problem morrisons only ever have a handfull of what's on offer and that's if their greedy staff don't stack them behind customer services like they do in my local morrisons store. Wrexham

Sadly minimum unit pricing will just ensure people with a drink problem spend less on other things, like fruit and veg. Putting tobacco prices up has the same effect. Addicts feed there addiction first then worry about, if at all, whats left. I regularly do booze runs to Carlisle!

Don't believe the hype, many European countries do actually have strict drinking laws and taxes on alcohol, as they too have bad drinking problems. It's not just a British problem, and certainly not just a problem confined to people 'living on your tax money'...

No, fizzy water mainly.
John Smiths is just plain awful
Kronenburg is better but not in thimble sized bottles
Carling - mainstream pop
Bulmers is OK for 6 bottles - under £1 each

1) Yes, I realise this, it can affect all types from all walks of life.
2) Not at all, they are the folks that this ruling from the scot. govt. was supposed to protect, but I think it actually hinders them IMHO as it makes cheaper alchohol more accessible to them.

High income people can also have a drink problem you realise this yes?
You seem to have a thing about low income people, its quite sad really.

Folks stocking up as you describe would take advantage of the 3for2 offer if it was available.
With retailers making the price per case the equivalent of a 3for2 actually makes it more accessible to the lower income or under age drinkers, which, I think, is the classes they wanted to deter from drinking.

Which is why they're wanting to introduce a minimum price per unit.

Well at least it helps the hard workers who just wanna stock up and have drinks available for guests/partys/xmas/family

Massive boob by Scot. Govt. IMHO, trying the eliminate binge drinking and its actually made alcohol, beers specifically, more financially accessible to those on a lower income, or worse case no income, as retailers have just reduced the price of packs to suit the 3for2.
