Would prefer people were too loved up on pills or too stoned to fight on the streets.
Agreed.
Either that, or make the alcohol content in booze so small that you'd have to drown before you got drunk.
It's a stupid 'high', if it can be even called that.
Stop promotional sales of alcohol - from happy hours in pubs to discounts in supermarkets; from Diamond White to vintage champagne. You don't get cigarette promotions.
Put a higher punishment on alcohol related crime / drunk and disorderly etc.
People are always going to find a way to get booze cheaply.
True - but don't you think that not flogging it cheap in pubs, clubs and supermarkets would help? Happy hours/booze deals in supermarkets seem to make binge drinking acceptable. I think there's a lot to learn from what's happened to smoking.
Don't get me started on Carnage UK ...
True if pints costed £3 a pint say, then it would be more diificult for the scum, who are causing much of the violence, to be able to afford, also perhaps upping the drinking age to say 22
I am not sure that really works. Generally, people are not in control of themselves to think about punishments.
Why not change our whole way of being?
For a start, pubs and clubs have to change their whole attitude. Frequently, I am sold alcohol when they should not be doing so. Thankfully for them and the residents of London, I am a lover and not a fighter.
I don't think the happy hour abolishment will make many inroads. People are always going to find a way to get booze cheaply.
It is no surprise that we, as a nation, tend to go mad on a Friday or Saturday. We work the longest hours, we commute the furthest and we have the least bank holidays in the whole of Europe (probably).
I am working on a plan.
But they are in control before they start drinking, so punishments can work in my opinion if its done properly.
After reading about the guy that got beaten to death after someome stole his girlfriends haloween hat. This is just one case of thousands that happen every year
What's the solution?
What would you do if you were in power?
Stop promotional sales of alcohol - from happy hours in pubs to discounts in supermarkets; from Diamond White to vintage champagne. You don't get cigarette promotions.
