alcohol consumption has been falling because pubs cant afford to run these days because of greedy governments and greedy breweries.Also thanx to stupid EU rules ie: smoking ban folk stay at home even the non smokers.

Now that peopel are staying at home and drinking cheaper supermarket beer the government isnt getting as much tax as it once did so is now targeting home drinkers with pathetic excuses and probably made up figures

its exactly teh same as what they did with diesil fuel.People got more miles from a much cheaper fuel and government lost loads of tax so they boosted up the cost of diesil to almost if not double its original price and now they get all the drivers and are laughing all the way to the bank

drink driving is a bad thing but drink and driving is the biggest money maker government has because it has pi$$ed away any other assets the country had so now the only way to make money is to tax the hell out of the public
