Loads of pissed up lads and a few pissed up girls. No big deal.<br /><br />What's allowed the politicians to manipulate this is the rise in alcohol consumption. Add this to CCTV footage and some snobbery and it appears to be a problem out of control, something that has to be stopped.<br /><br />The fact is that the rise in alcohol consumption is not kids out on the piss. The rise is middle class drinkers sitting down having a bottle of chardonnay after work.Tim Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369256383976094670noreply@blogger.com
