Subject: RE: BS: Binge Drinking reforms....UK
No Dave, I don't live in Nottingham, but I did watch the documentary on that city and it's alcohol problems. I watched the scenes of horror that happen every single weekend and so often weekdays too...I listened to the Chief Constable, saw the pubs and clubs.....

I have family in Cardiff, so I KNOW what happens there..and it's grim, just as it is in so many city centres.

Look it all up yourself, read the reports about the NHS finally admitting they can't cope. Watch the videos, they are all there on Youtube...

Come to Torquay....it's on our streets here too...and most decent people won't even think about going to town late these days...

Even in Sidmouth it was happening...

In Horrabridge I used to watch the kids swinging from the lamposts each night, drunk out of the skulls, as I lived opposite the park..and every morning I'd go out there and clean up the broken glass, the bottles...

So don't tell me that I don't have a clue.   

I do.

I also have friends and colleagues whose kids are out drinking and they don't know what the hell to do.

Get real.
