ancient evidence against minimum alcohol pricing

'Give strong drink to him who is perishing and wine 
to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget 
their poverty and remember their misery no more.'

Proverbs, 31: 6-7.


The drinks industry seem to have powerful support in their bid to challenge the Scottish Government's plan to introduce a minimum alcohol price. A policy aimed at the poor.

A spokesperson, speaking for both major churches in Scotland, was philosophical as she saw the opportunity to increase their flock with the lure of communion wine and a wee biscuit.

'There is always a silver lining', she quipped.
