Comment on ‘Hard month’ for pubs as UK’s dry January set to be driest ever

It doesn’t help when non alcoholic drinks are extortionately priced, some mocktails are just as, and in some cases more than alcoholic cocktails

It’s not even mocktails, which at least have a number of ingredients and require a bit of effort to make, all soft drinks are way over-priced. There’s some saving buying booze from the supermarket but it’s an order of magnitude more for, say, a glass of lemonade.
As someone who doesn’t drink, it does rankle a bit, especially if they should be encouraging people not to drink and drive. There used to be a “designated drive drinks for free” scheme back in the day, but not today (although the landlord does buy me a drink or two if I drop someone off for him).
