Can someone enlighten me as to where I can buy a bottle of wine for £2.03 or a bottle of whisky for £8?

More seriously, does anyone think that this will have any effect on binge drinkers or is it just a sneaky way for our esteemed Gov to introduce legislation which will enable them to set the minimum price at a much higher price in the near future (like min of £10 for bottle of wine and £25 for whisky) when these new minimums have no effect?
If drunks in the street are such a problem, why not arrest them for being drunk and disorderly like they did in the old days? (many years ago, a mate was done for this and was fined £2 in court, when beer was about 9p a pint. That didn't hurt as much as the admonishment he got from his Dad!!)
