View Full Version : Alcohol above 4% to be banned micksheff 22-06-2005, 10:42 Not yet but I bet within the next few years you will see something in the news with a similar headline. scottf 22-06-2005, 10:44 Never going to happen. What makes you say this anyway-a hunch or something u have seen? viking 22-06-2005, 10:45 It would be bad news for us "Seasoned" drinkers but good for the younger end. They only need a sniff at the barmans apron to want to fight anyone. Lickable 22-06-2005, 10:46 What a stange way to start a post. If they ban wine (12-13%) i will be breaking the law often. :o 21steve 22-06-2005, 10:47 think it might be in reaction to the smoking ban. heard some eejits complaining about the smoking ban and saying drink is as bad if not worse than smoking so that should be banned - except if i choose to drink the person sat on the table next to me doesnt get drunk! scottf 22-06-2005, 10:48 That would mean wine, spirits and some lagers (heinekin for one), alcopops- would all be banned!! What would be left? Swan_Vesta 22-06-2005, 10:49 That'd be some weak as p*ss scotch! Can't see it coming to pass myself but you never know what mad schemes the present junta will try and foist on us.

They should turn all the old phone boxes into smoking booths. They could even have fag dispensers inside, or you pay a quid to get in it and it gives you a fag. chickmonk 22-06-2005, 10:50 'except if i choose to drink the person sat on the table next to me doesnt get drunk!' but sometimes we all have to suffer the behavioure of the drunk and disorderly! :) Lickable 22-06-2005, 10:50 Originally posted by viking How do you drink a person?

English was ok. Just did some selective editing :thumbsup: THCAyle 22-06-2005, 10:59 start making our own moonshine then EdEd 22-06-2005, 11:12 LOL its not gonna happen venger 22-06-2005, 11:20 Originally posted by EdEd LOL its not gonna happen Of course not, daft thread really :P igm1 22-06-2005, 11:22 What are they going to ban next?

Like in US where it is forbidden to advertise drinks over 3.5% on TV. So that's what most of the beer is - 3.5%. Even though the UK equivalent (say budweiser, an American beer - 5% here) is stronger! robbie 22-06-2005, 13:09 MP's seem to drink a lot of spirits. I cannot see the ban ever happening. Its not about the alcohol its about ht people who drink it. raskel 22-06-2005, 13:14 :o Nooooooooooooooo... they can't do that!! That'd mean no more absinthe :cry: teeb 22-06-2005, 14:34 years ago no one could have foreseen a ban on smoking, which is now imminent! however, look on the bright side - no smoking, no alcohol, ban on fatty foods, cars off the road - you might live to be 100 - all you need to do is find something enjoyable to occupy your long life. Lea1979 22-06-2005, 14:39 the solution is simple - just drink more TheBlueDragon 22-06-2005, 16:38 I think that if they did this me and Dawny1 would probably hang our self ________ Lumina (http://www.chevy-wiki.com/wiki/Chevrolet_Lumina) Lickable 22-06-2005, 16:50 Originally posted by teeb years ago no one could have foreseen a ban on smoking, which is now imminent! however, look on the bright side - no smoking, no alcohol, ban on fatty foods, cars off the road - you might live to be 100 - all you need to do is find something enjoyable to occupy your long life.
