(ii) drink as much alcohol as possible (whether within a time limit or otherwise);
(b) provision of unlimited or unspecified quantities of alcohol free or for a fixed or

vicinity of, the premises which can reasonably be considered to condone, encourage or
glamorise anti-social behaviour or to refer to the effects of drunkenness in any favourable
manner.

where - (i) P is the permitted price, (ii) D is the rate of duty chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the duty were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol, and (iii)
V is the rate of value added tax chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the value added tax were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol;
[“value added tax” means value added tax charged in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act 1994]
