Hmm ... difficult one! But, if BOTH the UK and Scottish Governments persist in regularly pushing up the price of tobacco products and preventing stockists giving discounts on bulk purchases - "in the interests of *safeguarding peoples' health" (as EACH *purports!) - then surely it'd be hypocritical of them NOT to do likewise with alcohol ... which is ALSO a health hazard - apart from the misery it causes - when indulged in, to excess.

... just my opinion - NO offence intended!
