    when you say cans, what size of can is that

    500ml

    then I have no sympathy for you and your cheap beer

    good beer went up too to maintain the price difference!

    this isn't even a tax, the profits are going to the shops

    the idea behind it is to stop problem drinkers being able to binge drink, i feel like in practise alcoholics are just going to borrow, beg and steal to maintain their habit

    yeah, drugs being expensive definitely got rid of people being addicted or doing shitty things to feed their habits.

    our pub owner association is quite powerful politically and i feel like this is 100% a power play to get people back into pubs when they're inherently not safe

    I watched the B2 flyover video from the Rose Bowl, and now I want a spiritual successor to Black Sunday that starts with terrorists stealing a B2, managing to arm it and carpet bombing the Super Bowl instead of the usual flyover. And then the rest of the movie is real cat and mouse Three Days of the Condor type political intrigue.

    I gotta go but everyone going "making it more expensive doesn't work" are just plain wrong. That's not the weirdness here. But the normal way to do that is just an alcohol tax.

    yeah I'd put money on this being a way to prop up pubs, too

    A 24 pack of 355ml cans here, of cheap national stuff, is usually around 18 bucks. So, counting in my fingers.. hold on… carry the 6..

    16 euros?

    Reminds me when Doug Ford was campaign one of his promises was to reduce the legal amount chargeable for beer to a dollar, he ran a "buck a beer" campaign, and everyone fell for it and the only brewery who did this was one who makes pisswater.

    cause why the fuck would you reduce pricing/profits on something that already sells so fucking well, like if anyone thought Molson or Labatt was going to do something like that they need to be sterilized

    before this increase you'd get 24 500ml cans anywhere from €15-€24 depending on the shop and the discounts available

    technically they were more expensive than that but shops ran promotions all the time to the point where i don't think i've ever spent MSRP on cans

    Do you really do start to finish code reviews on your phone while walking? Are they architectural only or do you catch syntax stuff too? Or thats for the linter/checkin scripts?

    I am...intrigued by the ability to walk for an hour and do some code review.

    That's what I'm guessing is going to happen - or would, if flats in Dublin were large enough for bathtubs

    Sink gin?

    At least when booze prices go up due to taxes you can delude yourself into thinking that the revenue will go towards helping addicts

    beer pricing at bars here has got completely out of hand. It's like $8 for a sierra nevada (while "craft" they still have the advantage of production scales) and usually $6 for a miller lite.
