Cheap supermarket beer deals

What a two-faced bunch those that haunt the corridors of power can be. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth about binge drinking, underage drinking, obesity, liver cancer, etc., etc., etc., the supermarkets are allowed to go on selling beer at unbelievably low prices! I have heard of prices as low as 30p per PINT! That is less than soft drinks and even most mineral waters! How is that sort of pricing going to help change the UK's attitude towards responsible drinking? Understandibly the pub trade is up in arms, but even taking vested interest out, there are real social fabric issues at stake here!
