| Subject: UK slave pen: Prices for alcoholic drinks to be set by the statist regime Thu Jan 14, 2010 6:44 pm | |
| The controversial “price-fixing” scheme is an attempt to stop the sale of beer, wine and spirits at discounted prices, which is blamed for encouraging excessive drinking.
The cost of the cheapest alcoholic drinks sold by supermarkets could more than double. It will also apply to pubs, clubs and other licensed premises but the impact is likely to be less marked for their customers as alcohol prices are already higher.
