Doesn't matter! It's supposed to be choice. And that's what I don't like about the U.K., too much fucking regulation....

Prime Minister's ban on cheap drinks breaks EU law, claim alcohol companies | Mail Online
David Cameron’s assault on cheap alcohol descended into a fiasco last night within hours of its launch.
Drinks firms threatened legal action over the Prime Minister’s controversial plans to tackle the scourge of binge-drinking by imposing a minimum price of about 40p per unit on alcoholic drinks.
They claim the proposal is illegal under EU competition law. Some ministers are also understood to fear that the strategy could fall foul of the courts.
Public health minister Anne Milton recently told MPs that minimum pricing was ‘illegal’ while Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, is also believed to have warned Cabinet colleagues that it may breach European rules.Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.

Pensioners may not be able to fight back but the booze companies sure as hell can.
