Scotish school children complain about alcohol being too cheap?

Is this a joke? What next? Scousers complaining that their giros are too high? C.ockneys offering to pay full price for something?

In our research we found cans of cider and cans of bitter as cheap as 20p in some places. It's disgraceful."
Am I missing the point? What's disgraceful about cheap booze?

HMAF, maybe it's time to head back to the nation of our birth.

20p= 50 kurus? A can of efes for 50 kurus. Very Happy
.....tax on alcohol.... what's that all about?
