Re: Alcohol yobs - what is the answer?

I think that instead of asbos anyone doing anti-social behaviour should be sent to an army style training camp, teach them some respect for themselves and others around them, also while they are there teach them a trade so that when they do come back they have something worthwhlle to do. I understand this story from both sides as when i was younger i used to spend my weekends in darwen with a 'gang', which at the time seemed like the most fun in the world, but looking back at it now some of the things that happened where just stupid, and i really do regret a lot of it. Its one of those things that people grow out of. And as for making alcohol more expensive surely that will just push the already struggling nightlife in accy and many other similar towns, and also encourage youngsters to find alternate means of getting a buzz ie drugs, as someone already pointed out you can get pills for a couple of quid and enough weed to make a joint just as cheap, so putting the price up wont help at all. And please dont put the drinking age up, atleast not till next year when im 21 lol.
