Ya know, it's times like this I wish the Canadian border was just one giant fence with bleachers so the entire population of my country could sit facing America so we can watch all the crazy **** that goes on down there.

The question here is whether raising the prices is the solution. Personally I doubt it. I suspect that people would still drink the same amount and eat ****tier food as a result.

What cracks me up is seeing Keith Vaz talking about acting responsibly. Why that man is a still a politician I don't know.

What's the story?????
They're raising the price of booze and ending happy hours and such, so that YOU will have a harder time getting a drink, so that the police can focus more on real crime instead of drunken shenanigans, when, in fact, they will have a much larger problem on their hands when all the Britons riot since they can't get a pint. :nod:

If there's one thing we learned from prohibition it's that making alcohol more difficult to come by is a bad idea. :rolleyes:

Yeah...been there, done that; it doesn't work.

Of course we've also tried taxing the hell out of cigarettes (making them more expensive) with very little effect on their consumption.
