Ban on Alcohol promotions in pubs and clubs.

[Nixt]

Bloody ridiculous, especially seeing as the two main gay clubs in Bristol which I go to regularly do a "£20 drink the bar dry" offer on a Saturday night

[Caution]

If people want a drink, they'll have one.. this is ridiculous.

Haha didn't mean one, you know what I mean. :8

if this does come into place then the pub i work in will defiantly loose alot of business. also living in Brighton, we have one of the best nightlifes in the whole of the UK. Stopping promotions will kill our city.

Cost of a pint is already pretty high around here
Like £2.80 is common ;o

Yeah it can get upto that round here to, depends where you go. Some small pubs manage to keep prices down to like 2.00, but the big chains are able to push it down to as little as 1.50.

A Labour government taxing us all more & more? - surely not!!

They know it changes nothing, the whole lot of them are out of touch.

Nothing anyone is going to do is going to tackle binge drinking, it's become part of our culture.

Personally I don't care if they tax more on alcohol because I don't drink but I can see why some will be angered by this. It won't stop them binge drinking, it might however stop people binge drinking so often in the town centres.

OMG THIS GOVERNMENT IS SO ******* STUPID!!! ARE THEY FOR REAL?????????????????????


Right. When you go to the pub, do you EVER hesitate on buying a drink because of its price? NO. You don't even think about the price. People want to get wasted or at least have a decent evening drinking with their mates so they will be buying alcohol regardless. This won't prevent any such "binge drinking".

It's just an excuse for more taxes because the problem clearly lies within a minority so a more effective way of tackling it WITHOUT contributing to the country's financial problems would be to introduce higher punishments for binge drinkers who cause trouble in the streets.

Also, *MAJOR FLAW ALERT*...............



HELLLOOOOO!!!! Isn't the whole point to get binge drinkers OFF the streets??? Well congratulations on giving them an excuse to buy a few cans to take down the park. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Also thanks for completely ruining my night repeatedly for the foreseeable future from April onwards. Pubs have already been destroyed by the smoking ban but this is just pathetic. I don't know why this goverment is trying to kill British pubs when the trouble makers are more likely to go to clubs rather than pubs. Pubs are for people like me who just want a nice relaxing drink and a chat with their mates .

WELL DONE YOU'VE DEFFO GOT MY VOTE GORDON.

They banned smoking for health purposes. The government is already spending so much in NHS because of smokers.
Hey lets smoke and kill ourselves and then get the NHS to treat us!!

Bloody ridiculous. Passive smoking is worse than actually smoking.

If they increase the price of alcohol in the supermarkets too, then the governments plan should work to an extent.

[Hecktix]

This is bloody ridiculous.

I probably won't go out now, because I can barely afford it as it is, £1 entry £1 drinks makes it a damn sight better.

Thought we were meant to be helping the economy?

[dbgtz]

Labours helping the economy is robbing money from those who earnt it and then giving investing into benefits that don't need to freaking exist.
