some places sell beers in plastic bottles, I know MEN arena does! I think I read today in the paper that alcopops would go up by 10/20p (i can't really remember only had three hours sleep because i went out last night and got drunk!! ) but at the end of the day such a small increase isn't gonna change anything, people will just by 19 pints/bottles/shots instead of 20! And ultimately people are still gonna get shitfaced if they wanna. Like it has been said before the UK is a nation of pissheads, generally! We have a whole different culture and attitude towards drinking than most of mainland europe and we will never get MaccyD's selling kronenborg or people sitting chatting in a square having a couple of beers. To seriously affect peoples drinking habits the price would have to at least double and that would never happen!
