Banning "Happy Hour" is not going to stop this type of behaviour happening.

I for one are in agreeance that the drinking age, voting age etc should go back to 21. I'm also a supporter of national service and corporal punishment.

Respect for authority, the aged, your fellow person and property by a greater percentage of the current generation no longer exists IMO.
Here! Here!

I would also like to see the drinking holes closed. between 12:01 AM and 08:00 AM not because I am a non drinker but because these places and the people who work in them need a recovery time as well.

PS I remember 6 o'clock closing. There were more drunks sleeping it off in the park or gutter then than there are now with longer hours.

I remember the pubs closing at 6 and opening again for the evening session at 7. This suited me as I had a lot of mates who liked to drink but did not know when to stop. I was able to have a drink with them safely because we got turfed out at six and I could go home.

I love the happy hour at the club for a cheaper drink. but I would not miss it if it stopped.
