or ban under twenty ones. which i would start with.

yes ban under 21, with VERY harsh penalties for those who drink under 21 and those who supply

I am sitting here with a nice glass of red by the way

(I am over 21 in case you haven't guessed)

Anyone caught commiting an offense whilst intoxicated is fined £1,000. Failure to pay the fine results in 1000 hours of community service, failure to carry out this results in 1000 days in prison.

Under my regime.

Vote Kami, raising taxes and saving your clubs from the scum of the earth.

looks good

Even more worrying to me is how people become so violent when smashed - what is that about? Are most people just violent animals with a thin veneer of civilisation or does drink just effect people differently?

i fear you are most probably right in that assumption.
