  The actual proposal was announced today by Sir Liam Donaldson, although it was previously well leaked, and he is still determined that this route is the best one, and that it will protect the nation from itself..and guide us all away from the 'demon drink'.
  
  Although the government has sidestepped it for now they havent condemned it and as Sir Liam himself says, they did much the same with the smoking ban. An unpopular government in the middle of a deep recession is not going to grab this idea with both mitts but bide its time for better days.
  
  The proposal will devastate the cheap drink option in the supermarket although one upside, according to Sir Liam, is that it will breathe new life into the ailing pub industry. I think he could be spinning there. Maybe if Dave is about he could let us have his opinion on this...will making drinks more expensive in the supermarkets revive pub life?
