Booze Cruises

[sprayermick]

With the rise in tobacco duty (37p on 20 cigarettes) and the proposed minimum price per unit of alcohol bring about the return of booze cruises on the cross channel ferries like we had in the 90s and early 2000s after all with alcohol & tobacco products once again being much cheaper in Belgium and France surely it will again become a charter for small time smugglers.

Cigarettes aren't very much cheaper in France these days.

if its 40p per unit of alcohol
that make a can of the most popular beers £1.20 well my local shop sells that type now at £1 that's not going to put anyone off if you consider people getting frazzled before hitting the town on a Friday night what's a couple of quid going to make and difference,
this should have been hit on the head years ago and banned supermarkets practically giving it away there the one to blame for all this
