Dr. Brian Keighley, Chairman of the British Medical Association in Scotland:
"Supermarkets use cheap alcohol to attract customers into their stores, selling it even cheaper than bottled water"
What concerns me is that Dr. Keighley is in a position of great responsibility and he can't even get basic easily checkable facts correct. It's so surprising to me that I wouldn't be shocked if this incorrect fact is actually a calculated lie and one of the finest bit of data cherry picking ever known.
Even Tesco price checker tells me that both Tesco and Asda sell a 2 litre bottle of water is 17p. That's less than 9p per litre. There is no alcohol available, not even in multipacks, that is this cheap. I'm pretty certain other supermarkets offer similar products (Update: Sainsburys sell 2 litres of water for 18p). Why should I believe anything else they claim?
