If Jack has £1 to spend on alcohol, at the moment he'd go to the supermarket. He can't afford the £3 in a pub. Put the prices up in the supermarket to £1.50 - he can't drink. But he still wouldn't be spending money in a pub - so how the hell does reducing disposable income of customers help pubs?
I agree it's fucking ridiculous! Pop over and read the rest .. .. .. .. ..

Too much logic in this post, MW. Stop it now or you'll go blind.
To be fair the minimum prices suggested are only tax plus VAT.
That said, I don't think there should be any...
Hey BW .. .. they're only duty + VAT for now .. .. .. but you only have to look at how sharply minimum wage rose to see what could happen once the mechanism is in place.... ....
