2 easy steps to stop binge drinking.
1. Make it £5 per pint like it is in Norway, they have no trouble over there.
2. Make the drinking law 21.
There you go a simple solution to a big problem..

No it won't.It will drive it underground.More homemade brew and we already have an underage drinking problem.What is needed as has been mentioned in the drugs thread is better education and a different attitude towards drunkeness/being high.That's what we need zero tolerance on.That it is ok to drink but not to excess and not so one is a nuisance to others when drinking/or under the influence of whatever drug of choice.
We also need to have zero tolerance on drink/drug driving.If you drink you don't drive.None of this you can have two units crap before getting behind the wheel.
