Drink and violence



Yer another news report highlighting drink related violence:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4178958.stm

while at the same time again raising the subject of extended pub opening
hours.

What seems to have been completely forgotten in this debate is the wide and
virtually unchecked availablility of alcohol in supermarkets and corner
shops. Surely this must play just as large a part in the drunken behaviour
of many as the opening hours of pubs. I cannot imagine that many of the
cans you see in the streets being carried, emptied and thrown away as litter
have come from pubs.
