The whole "Ooh, but what about drink-driving/alcohol-fuelled violence"
argument is just specious idiocy.


Its been illegal to drink too much in public for years.

But simply isn't enforced.

They have just made smoking too much in some public places illegal and
the stupid smokers keep saying they will ban drinking soon when they
already have banned it decades ago.

The smoking ban generally is observed. Except by drunks, of course. ;-)

In fact its been illegal to be in public if you have already drunk too
much without you continuing to drink.

And is neither observed or enforced.
