Proposal for new minimum alcohol prices in Ireland- VIDEO

Irish people are like children - they need the government to hold their hands in every facet of their lives. Irish drivers didn't pay any attention to the dangers of drink driving until it started to cost them when the law was enforced. In driving sheets of rain that is impairing visibility most Irish drivers don't have the sense to slow down - the sign says 120 KMPH, so thats what he/she is going to do, even though they may only be able to see 40 meters in front of them. Tax evasion was a national pastime until enforcement started to cost Irish taxpayers money via penalties. There are several roundabouts in the Ennis area that have high fences along the sidewalks near them to protect the Irish pedestrian from their own stupidity - if the fences weren't present they would attempt to cross at the roundabout, or so high, they would climb over them. Raising the price of alcohol may be the only way to get the Irish to cut down on its consuption, they would never consider the health risks themselves.

Another gimmick to raise taxes is there no end to this.
