    It doesn't help that bars/clubs etc continue to serve alcohol to people who are already intoxicated.

    I thought that in itself was an offence?

    This is another example of collective punishment or constraints because of the errant behaviour of a tiny minority. Just like the idiotic rules for carry-on luggage, street cameras everywhere and other oppressive regulations, we have allowed ourselves to imprisoned without the slightest word of protest.

    Has to be said that I hate drinking beer from a plastic cup/bottle, it just doesn't taste the same (and no I can't explian why, it just doesn't).

    It is pretty obvious that people get more violent and reckless when drunk though isn't it.

    Maybe we should stop blaming a substance created in the process of fermentation from some people proving that neanderthal man is not that far removed from the current model.

    Ditto a pigs bladder from being responsible for the same

    started a topic This has to be stopped.

    This has to be stopped.

    A growing number of police forces are pressing for a blanket ban on pubs and clubs serving drinks in wine, spirit or beer glasses, in the hope of reducing injuries caused by people using them as weapons.
