Jails, institutions, and death.

From reading the article I got a sense that everything was blamed except for the 'poor girl' herself. Cheap alcohol, as though it is more deadly than more expensive alcohol. Bars/pubs being open at all hours as though if they were open less hours this may solve a problem. Availability of alcohol, as if any of us weren't clever enough to obtain it at any level of risk.

Here's a direct quote from the article:

"Dr Smith-Laing says: 'We need a dramatic rise in the price of alcohol so it is no longer affordable for the young.'..."

Just a suggestion - if anyone is using this doctor, find another one. There will be NO improvement in the situation until doctors like this one address the problem: the people drinking the alcohol.

Just my opinion.
