thing is raising the price WILL help. A lot of these binge drinkers are working and therefore have limited funds and simply when the money runs out they cant drink, these days there isnt the credit facilities to just get in debt drinking Remember these people arent alcoholics yet.

Raising the price wont effect scumbags as they dont earn money anyway And alcoholics will be forced into more crime to fund habbit thus bringing them more into the public eye and the legal system - which is good as in a roundabout way may force more to be done about it.

But yes the rest of us have to suffer because of a significant proportion of dickheads. But since when has this been any different in this country?????
