Just ban the public. They get in the way.

No, off-licenses - that way they can catch more people.

Dan Travis was leaving an off-licence in Brighton at 7pm with two cans of Kronenberg in his hand when two community support officers asked him to stop (Rosemary Bennett writes).

“They asked me if I knew about alcohol restriction zones and I said I didn’t,” said Mr Travis, a tennis coach. “They said, ‘We have to stop people who we think are drinking, not just drunk’. I pointed out that the cans were not even open, and they said that didn’t matter because they thought I was going to drink them in a public place. They asked me to pour it down the drain.”

Minority Report.

We think you are going to commit a crime. You're nicked!

In one small town in Wales the whole town centre is marked "no alcohol" except for a tiny patch: the rugby club garden.


Anyway, many moons ago my heavy-drinking, non-smoking Scottish drinking buddy used to be an ardent pro-smoker. When asked why he used to say:

"When they've stopped you buggers smoking, it'll be the booze next. You'll see. It'll be the Calvinists all over again. While they're picking on you, I'm drinking in peace."

We didn't believe him.
