perceptualChaos Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Government should just put a limit on what times and how much piss 18-20 year olds can buy IMO... have some kind of special card like a restricted license for driving but which has a digital ID which connects to a network and says whether they have passed their buying limit or not. People that have been arrested and charged with drunk and disorderly behavior should have buying privileges revoked for like 6 months as well - by a similar system. Can see a few difficulties in implementing this in the real world but I think something like that could work... Also, clubs should be (are already?) allowed to be 20+ if they want to be... and Fu should do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thr339z Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 drinking age at 20 is good.the difference between 18 and 20 is huge!and when it was 20 you still had 18year olds in clubs they just behaved themselves as they weren't meant to be in there. 18 year olds have a far worse attitude than 20 year olds as they are fresh outta high school with no real experience.

Aphid Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I reckon the best solution is to ban alcohol consumption in public - allowing 'bars' to be hotspots which have controlled conditions. Drink at home or in a licensed bar, not on the streets, parks, etc. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hide my beer when I see the fuzz anyways! Don't think it would have much effect tbh the problem is mainly being rowdy in bars or getting drunk in bars and then getting rowdy in public.

Most bars will continue to serve maggots till they fall over (literally.) That's the problem imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hide my beer when I see the fuzz anyways! Don't think it would have much effect tbh the problem is mainly being rowdy in bars or getting drunk in bars and then getting rowdy in public. Only certain parts of the city have Liquor bans. If it were inversed, so instead it was as a blanket rule: banned country wide except for private property and licensed/certified premises - it'd make a tonne more sense. Furthermore, they could 'license' special occasions, like Christmas in the Park where parents tend to bust out the bottle of wine with their picnic. If you ban alcohol in public fullstop I truly believe you'd see a LOT more people in clubs/licensed premises and more importantly, a lot less of it on the streets due to the Fuzz having full right to fuck you up if you get caught. Oh, and I'm talking open liquor so transport from the store to home (ie. in boot of vehicle or whatever) would be exempt. Surely it'd be a far better solution then close out times and raising/lowering the age. I think everyone can drink responsibly, but given alcohol makes most people irresponsible it'd probably be best to do that in more controlled environments like at home or in clubs with security as opposed to on the streets/in parks where all the violence/damage/graffitti seems to take place most of the time.

Grind Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Drinking in public isn’t a big deal, not many people get away with it… the entire CBD of Auckland has a liquor ban in place 24-7: http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/council/documents/liquorban/centralcity.asp Police reports show that most assaults occur between the hours of 1-4AM on weekends, in areas like the Viaduct, involving drunk people in transit from bar to bar Those close-outs have worked alright in other cities - ie. from say 2AM, if you leave the club, you can’t come back in.. apparently this has greatly reduced street violence/loitering.. and also encouraged many clubs to invest in nice smoking facilities I’d support raising the drinking age back to 20, although if I owned a bar/club I probably wouldn’t, it’s all $ at the end of the day.

That's where the little shits sit drinking their boos and can't be done. If they were to move another 5 meters they'd be in the hot zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
