Minimum Alcohol Pricing Bites

[Borchester]

Skipping to the end (cost per pint) doesn't reflect the interim costs (especially time) and that doesn't even account for things like what brand of beer are you buying - presumably the person who wants the cheapest per unit is just buying the cheapest available, do they like the taste of that beer? They'll find out after they've made it I suppose.

Brew in a bag are a around £1 a pint no other costs.

How does it compare to regular beer? I remember when I was into homebrewing that all the kits needed a lot of added sugar, which meant they tended to drink thin.

Actually it isn't expensive, Brew in a bag kits work out about £1 a pint.

Had you down as a pint of mild bloke.

Speak to an Administrator, John. 

Thank you for your kind words of support !

What I meant was

1) the original arsebook photo can no longer be viewed externally despite the public setting, the bastards have blocked such linkage
2) uploading it to imgbb gives you a link that pretends to be an image but is actually an html page in which your pic is shown strewn with ads
so
3) you have to open the link in a browser, view the image in a separate tab, then copy image link which gives you the true image url usable inside "["img"]"  "["/img"]" tags

As said above, what a faff !

but for anyone in the same boat wanting to show images not already hosted on a 3rd party access friendly website the above might be helpful !

I doubt taste is a prime requirement, looking at the drinks shown in the link in the opening post. Lacing Buckfast and Irn Bru with meths or the liquid part of Brasso could be acceptable...

I escaped from house arrest on monday, stopped off at Lidl Patchway Bristol where the cider priced at £5 west of Offas Dyke still retails for £1.99

Hopefully this is visible

That would be a fair bit of upfront expense, and time commitment, for someone who's just looking for the cheapest unit per pound.

True. But CoronaVirus Lockdown has seen millions of people with too much time on their hands. I tried getting a home brew kit myself about a month in and had no luck ! All sold out.



It will be interesting to see what this year brings

what the alcohol nazis who wrote this FAIL to consider is whether there is now a rise in home brewing ....
