D Angelo Barksdale Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 An alcohol ban would have caused full societal breakdown imo. The polis would have loved it mind. You only have to remember the massive hard ons they get when they find a 6 pack of stella on a supporters bus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 6 minutes ago, WhiteRoseKillie said: "Good idea" may have been the wrong phrase. "Banning alcohol sales to ensure a better compliance with National restrictions which may, or may not, have a beneficial effect on a wider aim of reducing the number of fatalities from a previously unknown virus but would have denied a proportion of the population the opportunity of indulging in an entirely unnecessary drug for the duration and could, in this light, have been seen on balance to have been a positive measure" might have been better, but I'm not sure it would fit P&B's current binary environment - or the reasoning skills of many of its users. TL;DR; Is Tennent's more important than yer Granny? How does me having a few cans in the house kill anyone's grandparents? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing this whoile shambles has shown is a complete breakdown of societal responsibility.

None of the four people in my family who have died/are on the way thanks to drink were ever harmed by not having a drink. Crashing cars when pissed, getting into ill-advised fights when pissed, cheating on their partners when pissed, battering younger family members when pissed, setting fire to their bed/furniture when pissed - all pretty harmful. Not having a drink? Not so much, unless you count the withdrawal symptoms from a drug which you voluntarily decided to engage with, having seen the effect it was having on others. And that's not harm, that's the consequences of a self-inflicted addiction. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would impact many people, but Covid also impacts a lot of people. I didn't have a drink between March and August actually but most people would be able to envisage the huge societal resistance and hostility an alcohol ban would cause. It's not just the alcoholics on the street that a lot of people don't care about. It's the workers who need to have a bottle of wine every night to wind down and the mummies who need their drinky-poos once the kids are in bed. Illegal warehouses selling and serving booze would only increase the chance of the virus spreading. Would you want the schools open to full capacity at the same time as the alcohol ban? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 They don't have the required amount of people in the forces/law to implement a ban on bevy. I suppose they could call in Kevin Costner and Sean Connery in as I think they have stopped making films for the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penthouse or pavement, no difference - it's no less a problem (and sometimes much more of one) if it is affordable. Illegal warehouses selling and serving booze would only increase the chance of the virus spreading. Aye, we're living in 1920's Chicago, right enough. I can see a rise in home-brewing, but speakeasies? Would you want the schools open to full capacity at the same time as the alcohol ban? Nope. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methadone, as is well documented, is, in itself, much more damaging than the drugs it is used to "treat". Managed withdrawal is the way forward, but any reasonably successful addiction treatment costs money, which yer Mail readers won't have spent on "junkie scum" while we can't afford to house homeless veterans - who, btw, overwhelmingly also have substance issues. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
