BBC News - 'Why you pay for other people's drinking'
"As preparations for New Year's Eve celebrations near their climax, economist Professor Anne Ludbrook argues in this week's Scrubbing Up that it is unfair that we all pay for the price for the damage caused by alcohol.
Ask yourself how you would feel if you contributed to a kitty for drinks but you didn't get a drink.
Or if another customer at the supermarket asked you to pay for part of the alcohol they were buying.
Sounds a bit far-fetched? But this is the reality of the peculiar market for alcohol. Everyone pays the price for alcohol, whether they drink themselves or not."
