stop drinking the stuff,price will soon come down,after all beer is tax revenue as well, it'll bugger up Rachels plans.
I don't understand why people pay these prices, I don't drink much, but Manns brown ale is £1 a bottle. good old fashioned Londoners drink that, 4 Peroni no alcohol under £5 for 4,can't get a bottle of cheap white for that, and Lidle dumpy even cheaper. I don't drink to get pissed, and left off wine because drinking alone is not good. My best choice is Mackeson hard to find round my way, used to drink that half and half with cider....memories of those hangovers is why I don't drink much now.
