    All 3 Tesco stores locally have been asking me and my friends for ID when buying alcohol (and in some cases even cigarettes) regularly for the past few months and we're between 25-32. I'd say that is being responsible.

    Regardless of cost people will buy and drink alcohol. Some will binge. If it gets too expensive then people will make their own. I used to make homebrew when I was about 15-16 and I'm pretty sure you only needed to be 14 to buy the kit.

    I'll need to get a few bottles of this selekt vodka. Perfect for TITP.

    Thanks to the original poster :)

  • Has anyone actually thought this whole expensive water thing through?

    The reason water is so expensive, is because it is a natural resource, that is fastly running out (remember those ice caps are still melting!).. man made liquids will therefore be cheaper, as they are easier to reproduce..

    Selekt vodka at £5 a bottle is a bargin! especially since the credit crunch is still going and pubs keep jacking their prices up!
  • Do you all think that the stores who have run out will get more stocks in?

    I would imagine so.. you could ring their head office to check?

    Oh...and you know that "man made liquids" like beer, vodka and the rest, probably take *more* water to make than just...liek...water...
