One scientist has recommended that decreasing tax on alcohol sold in pubs and increasing tax for the supermarket stuff will help UK spend less on alcohol abuse. Argument also goes to support struggling local pubs and restaurant.

Alcohol abuse alone costs about GBP 55 billion and results in ~40k deaths in UK.

This change would also help treasury gain some more revenues that can be used somewhere else.

Kudos English, you keep finding ways to be more comfortable all the time...

In US the hospitalization and death figures are much bigger and the money spent is exponentially higher. Why don't they come up with something like this?
