LCBO sets minimum prices for alcohol products to discourage drinking abuse.

I'm not necessarily against the strategy, but it certainly isn't stopping the upper crust from imbibing any.
Are you saying this is a stated and documented goal behind their pricing? The link doesn't actually cite any government source which states such a strategy.
If it is true, I am opposed to such a strategy, even to supposedly combat alcohol abuse. The powers that be certainly have never taken the same approach with regards to tobacco (at least not successfully or for very long) or junk/processed food.
