Bookmakers and general Money Laundering on the Dark Web

Sure its the same with a mineral.4 or 5 euro for a coke,jokeshop.

[Spidey]

And less duty too presumably

[Mac]

Zero duty I’d assume.

Is the incentive still there where a designated driver can get two non alcoholic beverages for free? When I was working pubs fado fado that was there.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

BrewDog Nanny State is a nice no alcohol beer
They also do a no alcohol version of Punk IPA called Punk AF but I have not had that one.

Heineken 0.0 is everywhere now. It does make it easier to go to a pub and not drink if so inclined.

@Massey

Correct. People have to get away from this auld shite of thinking your sick or something if your not drinking.Normalising goin to the pub and not getting pissed needs to be applauded

Agreed. Especially as it means a better chance of a lift home for the rest of us.

@Mac

since I presume its cheaper to produce.

Apparently it’s much more expensive to produce

I was in London recently drinking for a day and one of our group wasn’t drinking and wanted non alcoholic beer. Three places in a row didn’t have any, resorted to buying it in a shop and pouring it under the table for her.

It’s decent to be fair.

I assume the 0.02% alcohol content (or whatever it is) is the reason the duty still applies .

Only at Xmas I think. It was sponsored by Coca Cola so it had to be a Coca Cola soft drink too from what I remember

[TheUlteriorMotive]

I think it is duty free. Under 0.5% is I think officially alcohol free.

Anybody remember the Club Shandy in the 80s with 0.1 per cent alcohol

[Spidey]

I do. Some lad on a Dublin North GAA trip to London in the 90s drank 6 cans of the stuff thinking he’d get drunk and shat all over the hotel room. There was even barry on the ceiling.

@thedancingbaby?

[Bisto]

Northside animals… Probably from Isles or the like… …

[carryharry]

[Spidey]

More blanchy direction. The Isles lads would have had proper cans.

[Smark]

Is any of the alcohol free stuff actually nice? I’ve tried two or three brands and they were not enjoyable.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Brew Dog stuff is nice but not widely available.

The Heineken 0.0 is not terrible and scratches an itch but hard to drink more than a bottle or two.

…yeah - he was stealinglook the gambling industry is huge - their prerogative as an organisation is to maximize profit- you partake at your own free will- look i get the whole moral side of it but since when does any corporation have a duty of care to its customers?

I’m deffo a big exponent of personal responsibility but it’s like saying Is it’s ok for a publican to keep serving drink to a fella even if he’s absolutely scuttered, there has to be some duty of care, bookies are bloodsuckers and the more regulation on them then the better it is for society

It’s far worse than that I think.
