The government has said it wants to bring down the alcohol-death rate which is six times the national average and puts Scotland in a bad light every time it is repeated in the papers and on tv. The government is obvioulsy desperate to lose the sick man of europe image. I don't think the libertarian and social conspiracy arguments will be taken very seriously, or hold much water in this case.


And so the politicians drink a toast, in champagne naturally, to clawing back more cash off the poor while appearing righteous at the same time. A masterstroke.

It's interesting to see that "not all alcohol will be affected"
Yeah the Champagne that they drink would be my guess...
I'm still very interested to know how they reach such results..How they work these stats out..or do we just take what they tell us on .gov sites as fact?
