I was listening to Hack (current affairs on JJJ) and someone in the SA Government is banging on about banning happy hour as it promotes solid drinking.

I know there are problems with alcoholism in this country but.....

1. Drinking is legal
2. Selling alcohol is legal

If a pub wished to sell alcohol at reduced rates that should be OK.

The problems are cultural and this is not a solution.

We do not limit the number of cigarettes you can buy - we do not limit the amount junk food people can purchase.........

How dare they!

If it is really wrong it should be banned, made illegal - governments are hypocritical, they 'profiteer' and also claim it is wrong.

What do you think???
