Madam, - Last night in my pub I ordered a pint of Guinness and a pint of lemonade. The pint of Guinness cost €3.60. The pint of lemonade, €4.90. I would be grateful to any publicans who could explain how the extortionate price of non-alcoholic drinks contributes to a climate of sensible drinking. - Yours, etc.,
