Strong Polish Beer for a quid

[carcinogen]

I won't bore you all with my own struggles with alcoholism, but I thought the govt. were going to crackdown on the price of super(ish) strong lager? Yes, I know most of us want less interference from The State in our lives, but on this matter I am slightly disappointed. I can now get this 7.6 stuff for a quid from my local offy.



I don't want it. I don't need it. But for a quid, I cannot refuse it.

Malt liquor is a bit of an aquired taste though.

I don't suppose that the offy bloke is grabbing hold of youm narching you into the shop and making you buy it so I'm assuming that you're walking into the shop of your own volition. You don't want it and you don't need it but you still buy it, , that's like a nun buying condoms just because the shop sells them. Where about is this offy, I wouldn't mind taste testing the stuff.

This is what annoys the hell out of me, just because there are those who cannot (yes, I know alcoholism is an illness albeit self inflicted) or will not moderate their consumption the government want to price certain products out of the market for those who don't abuse that product.
A few years ago there were those who tried to stop M&S selling their meal deals saying that a bottle of wine between two people was too much, they didn't for one second consider that the contents may not have been consumed in one go.

If I have known about this I would voted to remain, instead i'll have to stick to Aldi's Taurus Cider. £1.99 for a four pack.
