which is useful, but may surprise some people when they see how low the recommended units of alcohol are per day |

as to clubbers you more than likely just see an increase in people taking in pre bought imported drink or just using drugs to increase the effect
better would be enforcing the laws we have that are mostly ignored
- It is illegal to serve alcohol to someone who is drunk
- It is illegal to allow a customer to become intoxicated on your premises
- It is illegal to serve customers under the legal drinking age of 18.
there should be at busy premises 1 drink per person at bar rule, it may cause cues  give them longer to sober up though lol |
excellant point with one addition
taking drinks out of a bar to drink in the street whilst wating in cue for the next bar should be outlawed or enforced if it is already outlawed
