        @Hazeydavey69 @BBCBreaking conumsers ultimately don't control that. Cheaper drinks generally have more sugar, so affects lower paid more

        @peterborweather the cost of looking after them when they get obese on the NHS is more. Just choose to drink water and everyone wins

        @Hazeydavey69 not everyone over indulges and has issues. Penalising a majority for a minority problem

        @peterborweather that's the way of the world I'm afraid. You have to balance penalties against choices.

        @Hazeydavey69 Indeed. But my point is, lower paid have little choice. Higher paid can easily absorb the hit. The same with ALL taxes/levys
