Uk, if it was any other drug...

This programme made me once again recoil in horror and really think about what is going on.

This is happening in every town city in the UK every week, some towns more than others, the cost to police it and deal with it is unimaginable If this was any other drug causing this much carnage parliament would be re called asap there would be national debates/national enquires etc etc.

If you have time watch the programme "bouncers "

You newcomers, feel proud that your getting away from this BS !

For some reason I can't load the video but I have seen it all before. Even when I was drinking I avoided going out on fri/sat nights. I was a much more dignified drunk At least when I flashed my knickers I knew there wasn't any cctv around.

Sadly there's too much revenue to be made from alcohol, both for the govt. and via wholesale and retail but maybe in the future sense will prevail.

It's too bad the words sense and sanity has no meaning with active alcoholics.
BE WELL

I guess it's a fact that

if booze wasn't legal and they wanted to legalize it today

it would never be legalized

but

the stuff has been around for a very long time

some of the drinkers in the bible were having problems with their drinking
