looks like we're heading back to the 16th century, when beer was drunk more than water for sanitary reasons... time to stock up on the grog...

This is such an old story, every 6 months or so they bring this up...the own brand beer is disgusting and usually only around 2% alcohol, and to be fair, ClaireW is right, buying bottled water is silly, and actually a bit of a luxury.
Pricing doesn't matter, people will always drink booze, it's the english way.

23p is incredibly cheap and obviously isn't a good thing for binge-drinking Britain.
But the other lesson here is that it's stupid to buy drinking water. Use the tap. - 3 years ago

Too true, Ben_Traffic_UK, now if only I could get beer out of my tap as well then we'd be all set

that said, cheapness isn't always a sign of quality. Sainsbury's own brand £4 Cava is far nicer than some more expensive sparkling wines.

Alcohol is sold as a loss leader in most supermarkets and it is something the goverment is trying to stop.
