THE LIBERALISATION OF BOOZE!

Not sure what your views on this are but I don't have much time for the call  from  the Federation of the Retail Licensed Trade in Northern Ireland urged the Government to ensure that the number of premises selling alcohol in Northern Ireland should not be increased.

This strikes me as faux concern about the effects of liberalised license laws and more of a lame-fisted attempt to inflate the value of a liquer license! It's not the NUMBER of premises selling alcohol which is the issue surely. It's the age of some of the kids buying it - and the binge drinking culture that we need to deal with, in my opinion.

You've just come back from a nice long (liquid?) lunch, and you post a thread about booze. Have you been enjoying a bit too much of the devils brew this Sunny afternoon ;)

Hic...how dare you! Now, where was I...?

Isn't there more of a problem with kids using drugs other then the drink?

The problem of binge drinking is everywhere not just NI.

Canadian,

I'm sure you are right. From all accounts the same issues afflict many places.

Ban drinking in Bars and allow smoking sez I!
