Not quite true. You can drink it, just not buy it or sell it. I went on the tour of the distillery a few years back and tried quite a few different ones. 

Yours sincerely, Captain Pedantic. 

Dear Chairman of the British Pedantic Society.

If you can't buy or sell it, how can you drink it ?

Regards

British Society for Pedantry.

They don't get pissheads in A&E here because they'll charge you by the minute. In the NHS they charge everyone else!

Ya can still get discounted booze delivered from amazon pantry so panic over

[MickC 1,825]

Seems like a ploy by the Government to get everybody back drinking in the pubs/bars after a lot left due to the smoking ban they brought in. .

Just do a booze run to England. All it will do is put Scottish businesses out the game and line the coffers of the bone idle! They won't even get the revenue They really are the dumbest party ever! 

 

So how much  is a bottle of Buckie now. That's the favourite tipple of nationalist followers lol

Rumour has it that Buckie is already more than 50p a unit so its price should be unaffected. Will it now be linked to more or less crime?

Vice Chairman actually. 

You can buy it in a different county and bring it home with you to drink. 

Or as I did, get free samples on the tour. 

Hope this clarifies.

Rightly or wrongly I see someone in the street clutching a bottle of Buckie my first thought is "scumbag"

Same this end with Richard's Wild Irish Rose. Comes in at $3.99 (just under three quid) for 750ml and tops off at 18% alcohol. It was dubbed the “the murderers’ national drink” by a Chicago homicide detective due to its appearance frequency at crime scenes.

Community groups in several major cities have asked the manufacturer not to stock the product in high crime areas and you're probably not going to be discussing it's oaky overtones while you're driving around with a dead prostitute in the boot of your car.

Looks like pissheads the world over are being robbed already, I,m paying £30 for 44pints of my favourite farmhouse scrumpy direct from the farmer, and 3/4 pints will give you a good little wobble, plus there,s no chemicals involved just pure apple juice so I can count it as one of my five a day win win ?

i drink a canadian beer brand called "pilsner" its $41 for 24 x 330ml tins ,which approx 25 quid

8 tins of guinness is $26,thats expensive,now a luxury for me.

litre bottle of stoly vodka $42

 

it not cheap here in sask to drink.not yet,but the supermarkets and other vendors dont sell alcohol.

we have a government run liquor board store or bars in our town.once the LBS shuts as its only open to 9pm

the bars who do off sales bump their prices up on the hour every hour for a case of beer.
