Just for the record , although I do enjoy my beer ( & wine etc, when not driving) I support the laws prohibiting drink driving. However I am opposed to being charged more for a non alcoholic drink than I am for a pint of beer, especially when the cost to the pub of a pint of draft cola, fizzy orange etc is a matter of pence. The point I was trying to make is that unless you are lucky enough to live in a village with a thriving pub, or have a back street pub that has not been turned into a kiddies theme bar or a druggies paradise, then you need to drive and that means you want non alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices.

I also support the move towards cleaner air where people are singing or playing instuments. How many more people like Roy Castle, do we need to die before society is prepared to admit that secondary smoking kills. And if that is puritanical, then I guess in that regard I'm puritanical.
