Should Cheap Booze Be Banned?
Poll Started 17 Nov 2008. Should Cheap Booze Be Banned? There’ve been calls from a Government select committee for price caps on alcohol. This would impact the selling of booze in supermarkets and would hit promotions such as '6 bottles of wine for a tenner' or even low brand lager for 30p. Pros include... it’ll stop some “pre-loaded” binge drinking, making our streets safer. Cons include... it’ll penalise those who just want a night in at a cheap rate. So, it’s a deliberately polarising question. Should there be minimum prices set on booze?
