Why oh why do a lot of people think it is great fun to get so plastered that they do not know what they are doing.
The government should impose huge fines and curfews on anybody out on the streets who is incapable of walking straight (through drinking), and double it for pubs/clubs who allow their patrons to get in that state.
If Joe public can not regulate their drinking themselves, then somebody will have to do it for them.
I agree that the drinking culture in this Country is shameful, however, the minority spoil it for the majority (like me), I like a drink with Friends, but know how to control myself....
...the Governments answer?...to try and stop shops selling cheap beer, which, I think is unfair on us responsible drinkers.....
The Guy who runs an Offy near me got caught selling alcohol to underage drinkers....guess what happened to him....he was fined a few hundred ÂĢ and stopped from selling for a month!!!! What's the point, he should've been banned from selling alcohol for LIFE!
