Oh, I don't know. Wasn't cheap gin the scourge of London once?

I'm with you on the marketing of alcohol to young people... at my local place, they've got these little eight-packs of test tubes filled with brightly colored alcohol and fruity artwork on the package.

I asked if every small child who walks in with their parents is attracted to this product. Oh yes indeed. Talk about cynical merchandising.

I'm a little confused, tho. You seem to be saying that cheap alcohol is a social problem, but we shouldn't make it more expensive because it impacts the wallets of those least able to pay... are you suggesting that we make more hi-powered stuff cheaper since the kiddies aren't gonna drink it? You never heard of mixed drinks? My first really bad experience with booze was mixing orange juice and vodka. I got very drunk very fast... and ended up sick as a dog.
