Protecting People From Themselves
A study by the Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems Group (SHAAP) calls on the Scottish Government to introduce minimum prices for alcoholic drinks. It said a 10% rise in drink prices would save an estimated 479 Scottish men and 265 women every year.
So, because some people need protecting from themselves, because otherwise they drink to excess, everyone has to pay more for their alcohol? I say that a low drink price is just evolutions way of weeding out the weak. These days, because we are protected from so much, it's making us all weaker.
