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

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.

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 |

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

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!

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

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

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

When I am the leader of the entire globe, and Mutley is my trusty side kick, we will raise the legal drinking age to 21, and strictly enforce it. We will order our peaceforcers to hang around in pub car parks and bludgeon anyone who approaches a vehicle. Our genetically modified peaceforcers, clad in their nanotech body armor, will patrol the streets. They will have the authority to vaporize anyone they like. Red hot balls of plasma will streak from the muzzles of their plasma pistols like miniature supernovas. Their victim’s heads will explode like over inflated balloons. If you'd like to vote for me, I would appreciate your support. |

I was once apprehended in Spain for walking past an armed Policeman and shouting "I am the law" at him in jest (I was the organiser of the holiday and the oldest of all the lads so it was my catchphrase at the time). As you might guess I had consumed a few drinks at that point and was nowhere near 21 years old... so maybe there is a case for banning it
Luckily they just stuck me in a van for 10 minutes for a lecture and then sent me on my way. |

When I take over, that sort of behaviour will be punished with cold custard pie bombardment.

Smoking age: 21, I'd also ban smoking in the street due to people smoking in queues in front of or behind me and due to all the disgarded buts that litter the floor everywhere.
Drinking age:21, ban consumption on the streets. Any under age breaking the law, fine their parents £1000. Adults drinking or caught drunk in the street, fine £1000. Anyone knowingly selling to minors, lock them up.
Driving age:21, anyone breaking the law has the car crushed, is banned for an additional year and gets three points.

1984 here we come
I think this one in particular would lead to a national uprising against the authorities... |

It's a criminal offence as it is, what's the issue?

Ever dropped litter (even by accident)? I reckon their should be a £2000 fine and 200 hours community service for every piece. What's the problem with that, it's a criminal offence after all and it would stop people dropping it!
Well actually, I think there is a big problem with that. Its draconian!
So if I had a bottle of wine and a few digestifs at a dinner party and decided to walk home I would be liable for a £1000 fine? That is total lunacy
Somebody accidentally creeps to 65 in a 60 zone and they get their car taken away from them, potentially loses their job and all the follow on that can come from that? Somebody get me a ticket to Iran, I need to live somewhere more liberal! |
