Everything that is banned just ends up in the hands of unscrupulous characters for them to rake in the profit.

"Ban alcohol! Let's see what that does."
They tried it here once - didn't work. Remember Al Capone?

Good point! I bet P&O and the Channel Tunnel operators would be right behind a ban

Drug dealers taking over the supply of alcohol and adding to their already huge illegal income?
"Moonshine" becoming readily available and poisoning more people than are already injured by alcohol?
I have a thing for French red wine and if that is going to be taken away for the sake of the minority then we may as well ban our cars as well and force everyone to hand in their kitchen knives!

Seems the result has been increased violence though, unless it was on the increase anyway

I don't think its a bad thing as it helps offset the loses that a lot of pubs have endured due to the smoking ban.
Anything that helps curb the epidemic of pub closures is OK in my book |

I agree U.M, 24 hr availability could only lead to more violence, more pressure on the police and more pressure on the NHS. One of the main problems is how cheap it is.
Cheers (sorry regards) |

What shocks me is that they thought it was going to work in the first place.
