HM Government recently released its Drug Strategy 2010, the key aims of which are to reduce illegal and harmful drug use, and to increase the number of people that recover from dependence.
Where alcohol is concerned, Governments are always on a bit of a cleft stick. This is succinctly articulated in the recent ‘Review of Alcohol Taxation’ which states that the purpose of the review is to “tackle problem drinking without unfairly penalising responsible drinkers, pubs and important local industries”. The solution, therefore, is to increase the duty on strong beers (over 7.5% alcohol by volume (abv)) while reducing the duty on beers of 2.8% abv or less.
