That might be it - I had a subscription to The Eye in those days. (An amusing aside. The Christmas issue always contained a form for next year's subscription. I think that Private Eye had, around that time, suffered from several successful prosecutions for libel. So, this time, the form was headlined in large font "Subscribe, you bastards!"). > Theres also an urban myth (or is it ?) regarding a publican avoiding > conviction for serving alcohol to minors when it was proved that WRB was > actually less than 2% proof - it is said that the product was "withdrawn > from the market" shortly afterwards Probably an urban myth. There's quite an interesting webpage here: <https://boakandbailey.com/2019/01/watneys-red-barrel-how-bad-could-it-have-been/> Around halfway down it notes: "c.3.8% ABV". -- Jeff
