This is another example of the police and the courts not doing their job. If there is town centre violence fuelled by drink as she says then deal with the offender very harshly.

The problem is not the price of the alcohol, it is obviously the amount consumed and I don't think the price will change that.

Some people think the only way they can have a good night out is to get totally falling down drunk. I could never understand that personally but I don't think increasing the price will help.

I think the root cause of the problem is not the drink itself but the people who want to be drunk.

Drink related crime should carry a much harsher punishment than it currently does.
Several years ago people thought nothing of driving after drinking, now it is seen as wrong by most people.
The same thing needs to happen for drunkenness in the street and the trouble that comes from it.
