    Hi guys

    I'm looking to get some of the little sachets of alcohol like you get on an airplane, anyone seen them anywhere around town or have any ideas as to where might have them! I'm gona try the fine wines party store later on, but other than that I can't think of anywhere!

    Why do you want alcohol in sachets?.

    I could swear they were banned a few years ago due to making alcohol to much like sweets and attractive to underage drinkers

    Try finewines, think I saw something to that effect on the counter, they were alcopop type things, flavoured vodka I think.

    I haven't seen the straight sachets in a long while though.

    Cool thanks, even a few of those alcopop things would be grand if I could find them, went to the fine wines party store and the guy hadn't a clue what I was on about! I'll give a look into fine wines in town!

    Bullseye Baggies is the name for what you are looking for, don't have a clue where you can get them. There was uproar about them when they first came out

    After a bit of googling, it turns out they are banned!!
    Ryanair has provoked the ire of alcohol awareness groups for selling a controversial vodka shot in a "happy hour" promotion to passengers on board.
    The airline is selling Bullseye Baggies, banned in Irish pubs and off-licences last year, at the special rate of two for ?5.

    Yeah they were only out and were quickly taken off the market again. I think its only an agreement with NOFFLA and VFI not to sell them rather than a legal ban. Do Ryanair still do them?
