This stuff hacks me off.

Underage drinking, binge drinking and people who don't know when to stop and become alcoholics and they claim it is the price of booze that causes the issue and raising it is the solution??

B*LLOCKS!!

You going to raise the price of fast foods as fat people are dying of obesisty??

It don't matter what price booze is, people out on the pist will still get pissed up, they will just spend a little more, wont stop them or make them drink any less.

Kids will always be able to chip in together and get booze, if they can buy fags and ganj, raising the price of booze aint going to make any odds.

Start by making it 100% compulsory to show id when buying booze - pubs, shops or supermarkets etc - EVERYONE has to show id in order to get served from someone 18 - 85 - no exceptions.

This will remove any arguements over "he looked old enough" and mean there is no way someone under 18/21 can buy booze.

ANY premises that is found to have sold to someone without ID is automatically shut for 30 days - no exception - see how many are willing to chance it when that takes affect - NONE!

Any adult found to have supplied/purchase alcohol to someone under age - 500 quid instant fine - no more of people buying kids outside shops booze.

Get rid of two for one deals, or happy hours to try and slow peoples binge antics, but you wont stop boozers and you wont stop people who have addictive natures and become alcoholic.

Nanny state, and usually a way for the government to cream some more cash, and punish us all for the few.

Bet most of the fookers supping to much or who are underage are the ones on benefits/dole and have the bleeding time to.
