UK: No more cheap booze
The national government in the UK is determined to slap new regulations on drinking to attempt to curb a rise in anti-social behaviour. The suggestions range from a ban on happy hours and ladies nights, along with stringent labeling on cans and bottles.
From the Daily Mail:
Critics of liberalised licensing laws claim the move three years ago to 24-hour pub opening has exacerbated the problem.
Given the nannying, petty bureaucrats in Britain right now it’s absolutely no wonder that people are driven to drink. With local councils leveraging anti-terrorism regulations to curb littering, banning clowns from being musical without a licence, and ticketing people for being stuck in traffic, drinking probably is probably the only way to keep from going insane.
I would suggest the government look into why people are so eager to drink to excess and see where it’s rooted. Fix the core, not the symptoms.
