Re: Charging drunks that abuse the NHS

Alcohol is increasingly becoming the most destructive thing in this country and while it is great to see it hitting the headlines how long will it be before anything is actually done. For years we have heard how tax on tobacco was raised to pay for the cost of it in terms of the nhs and to put pepople off and that was fine with most people but talk about doing it to alcohol and woah people are up in arms.

I live in a little market town and on the weekends you just do not go into the centre unless you want to be abused, vomited on or assaulted and it's all down to alcohol and the idiots that don't seem to be able to stop at a sensible level of consumption. I will hazard a guess that situation exists all over the UK and yet we take it because our precious alcohol must for some unfathomable reason be cheap for all to enjoy no matter the damage it does.
