Twenty Four Hour Drinking

It's funny but don't the facts get lost in the rhetoric. When Michael Howard allowed drinking in the afternoons in the late 1980's, there were predictions of town centres full of drunks. Where are they?

So I suspect that this one will go the way of that fear!

But, we must do some things to protect those that might be affected.

1. Local licencing must respond to complaints.
2. There must be adequate public transport to take people home after a night out.
3. Would not a limit to the number of people allowed in each licenced premises be a good idea? Perhaps it would mean that licencees had to use better ways of getting more money out of drinkers. Like food!

But above all we must enforce the rules that are already there. Like if you're drunk, then you don't get served.
