It was a stupid policy from the word ‘go’. I’m not happy about the ease with which teenagers can get booze, but this won’t solve anything.

Sorry – your photo is very wrong here.
You refer to “High-strength, low-cost alcohol”. ASDA “Smart Price” lager, in common with Tesco Value lager, is certainly low cost.
However (whilst I have never needed to plum the depths to sample it myself) I’m fairly sure that it’s water that at some point in the water cycle looked at a hop from a distance less than 10 miles.

That’s all fine and dandy, if you were selling Ice Cream Cones. BUT you’re not, are you ?
All alcohol contains the power to control & damage ones health & life.
The most unfortunate thing, is that it’s a legal substance, prefered by many, rich/old/poor/young whatever.
When I drank, had I have read my OWN opinion on it now, back then, I would have deleted something like this ASAP. Well, I’m the one spouting off about it.
Drinking can easily destroy ones health. It doesn’t matter who your are, what type of drink you prefer, your age, NOTHING !!
It is a silent, sneaky Minion who works directly for the big cahoona himself, Satan!
Each country’s Government must take action, same as they did with cigarettes. Large warning labels and price increases.
Thankyou.

Sheila, anything and everything can damage ones health and life. TV, fatty foods, mobile phones, cigarettes, ice cream cones, you name it.
But it is up to just one person whether or not someone should drink or be able to drink – themselves [once they are of legal age, of course]. Every government must not do anything to restrict people’s choice. It is not their responsibility or job.
What you are saying is the complete opposite of everything that democracy is based on. Freedom to choose. Every government must stay the fuck away from alcohol and cigarettes. Warning labels and price increases don’t stop anyone. All they do is cost money.
And if you seriously believe that alcohol is the work of Satan, then you need to wake up and look at the real world. A tip for the future: don’t call anything a minion of Satan. It just makes you look like a crazy idiot.
