This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for budding entreprenuers to set up a lucrative business selling northern cans out of their house.Theres no gardai in a lot of small towns so it'd be pretty handy

Set up a text hotline...word won't be long spreading

You're like some Irish immigrant in the US barely keeping in touch with home.
Pathetic.

There's a pre built in Can Run movie

Is there still a dial-a-can service? We used to use it a bit when we were 18/19 but I haven't heard anything about it in years.

These services all already exist. they depend on the exchange rate though. not sure its lucrative at the minute.

Can you please check this with someone from Donegal so we know it's true?

Not sure what this about but I suspect this is just like the have to buy 20 fag's thing and I am not sure if this could change the drinking culture

That's pretty much exactly what it's targeting right? Like the €4 bottles of wine or slabs of 20 cans for €15 you can get in Tescos? For most drinkers it won't be that big of a deal, like a 6pack of cans would be about €13 (with the highest estimated price) which is about what you're paying for stuff that isn't complete piss anyway.

Alcohol isn't exactly an essential element of life, drinking two less cans on a night isn't exactly a big deal.

Wine shopping in Aldi will take a hit

Bavaria will come,that's a problem for me. Last time I was in Belfast we bought drink after hours out of a car boot.

Same here! Asked the taxi driver where we could get booze, stopped on a side street where a lad offered us either a slab of beer or a bottle of whiskey. Car pulls up a few minutes later, deal is done everyone is happy.

Apart from the tax man

So does this not mean that this will have little affect on most people? By and large, it won't make much difference?

More importantly, what price difference will this make to:

1. Six Dutch
2. A flagon of cider
3. A bottle of Buckfast
   
4. the cheapest of alcopops (which I think are already expensive enough these days)

Will this just remove the joy of bargain hunting booze?

Doubt it will have any impact as Buckfast is fairly pricey these days anyway. Bottles of wine go up to around 7.90 at cheapest, i think Buckfast is around €14 these days.

Although i was in Lahinch a few months ago and they were selling it for €18.99

Will this have an impact on the price of a bottle of whiskey? Jameson has already gone up by something like 60% in the last half decade.
