shoeshine Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 And another thing! Ban them young blokes who go in pubs to ogle the barmaids all night after half a Shandy, stagger out and kick people's dogs, then declare undying love to a particular "named Serving Wench" working in a boozer somewhere up Stannington", then have the poor young lady discussed by the drunken sot as "a good (pint? ) puller" on Sheffield Forum!

melthebell Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 It's not alcohol (or the availability of) that's the problem - it's the people who abuse it. just like ALL drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukstudent Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 if found guilty of being drunk,then ban them from drinking for 12 months,with regular blood check ups to back it up The government would love that - the NHS is already stretched to its limits Anyway, how can you enforce it? If you ban alcohol it isnt going to stop people drinking it - it would just make it more dangerous. People still smoke cannabis and use other drugs - it doesnt matter that they are illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_Collins Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i wouldn't worry soon anyways with the Shocking Government we have now, Beer will soon be priced out of reach of most people. So i can see the old 'cold Turps and Orange cordial' making a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
