Sadly she is right in one repect, she is not the only one. The drinking culture of this country is shameful.
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.
People have been too lazy to take personal responsibility for quite some time. This is why the Labour Party has been so popular, because they will take responsibility for you.
