So, earlier this year, our reptillian PM, Mr David Cameron increased the alcohol duty rates on all nice beers (of the higher percentage). This meant an increase of around 4p per pint, which seems negligable, but it all adds up especially when considering the reduction in tax on cheap, dirty and down right terrible lower percentage beers.
Now, any right minded person may at this point be questioning why it is worth getting irritated by such a difference and suggest just drinking a dirty lager? But the question is, as a student, would you prefer to go home at the end of the night with the customary haze of alcohol abuse, or pass out half way home whilst heaving your bloated water-filled body up the hill like some grotesque reincarnation of Jabba the Hut?
Well I'll tell you what I want, the government to stop meddling in our perfectly legal activities. With the risk of sounding like some ill-informed John Locke, leave us alone!
