I am not interested in the excise burden as the argument relates to customers buying pints. If I put X amount of money on the counter I will get X amount of alcohol back. In Ireland it seems one gets a reasonable amount of alcohol for a given price compared with other countries. I discovered at the weekend that measures for spirits in Britain are around half as big as those in Ireland and around twice the price.
