You are calling for prohibition?
Ping for the nanny state list..:)
Looks like the UK is going after booze now.
The Government can get everything it wants by simply appealing to our deep-seated desire to control others. That includes so-called conservatives.
NOTE: we cannot post live links to that source or even excerpts (mod will pull), which restriction i only found our after i had it all ready to post. Sorry. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111944/posts for policy.
Britain can only think of things like banning “Happy hours,” but character is the real issue, and in lost, post-Christian Britain (and here) the lack of good character is increasingly a problem.
I guess when it becomes common to see 14-15 year old girls passed out in the doorways of convenience stores, something probably needs to be done.
It worked great before...
Drinking alcohol is an “immoral lifestyle”?
I am not a drinker ( by choice) but as I recall my New Testament Jesus turned water into wine. There is nothing in God’s law that considers drinking immoral....excess in anything is always immoral
Check this out article out; it was posted today. Just what we need, more one-world government.
Deadly Alcohol Needs Global Regulation, Health Expert Says
In a commentary appearing today (Feb. 15) in the journal Nature,(Devi Sridhar, a health-policy expert at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom) argues that the World Health Organization should regulate alcohol at the global level, enforcing such regulations as a minimum drinking age, zero-tolerance drunken driving, and bans on unlimited drink specials. Abiding by the regulations would be mandatory for the WHO's 194 member states.
It’s not immoral to drink, it’s your own choice. What’s immoral is to make crappy life choices (such as mass consumtion of booze) that screw up your life and expect others to bare the burden.
Spread the wealth also mean spread the filth.
As a person who occaisonally enjoys the kind herb but has little use for alcohol, I think a few years of alcohol prohibition would be rather...entertaining.
I tried to ask you what this thread is about, are you going to answer?
One easy fix is to drop National Health Care. Let people provide for their own health care. The cops will tell most drunks to go sleep it off rather than make a mandatory trip to the hospital. You have more time to carry out your holier than thou medicine. Trying to go the road to prohibition will raise health care with bullet ridden bodies mainlining the emergency wards.

Is he wearing a pair of STRETCH pants?
Couldn't agree more. I am going to start approaching alcohol from the left side, instead of the right.
I’ve already given up 3 vices, due to the lousy economic picture. The two left are gonna be the hardest (no pun intended), Women and alcohol!
