Well, too much of anything is never good, so maybe this is for the best. Seems to me that it just caused problems. But of course, if I would live in Slovenia I would totally protest against this. :p Just kidding. :) |

This article kinda alarms me. I thought that in this day and age, when everyone is on about freedom of choice and free will and all that shite, something like prohibition would be completely unthought of. That Slovenia is introducing a ban on alcohol is really strange to me!
I always thought that Scotland had the biggest alcohol problem in Europe. Statisics show that, as a nation, we drink far too much. I can't ever imagine the British government banning alcohol though. They earn far too much money from it to even consider outlawing it. They'd just be shooting themselves in the foot with that one! But does banning alcohol really solve the problem of alcoholism? I know that if (God forbid! :eek: ) an alcohol ban were introduced in the UK, I'd do whatever was in my power to make sure I got myself some booze, even if I had to break the law in the process! People always find a way around these things. A ban won't solve the problem - it'll only create more cos people will resort to breaking the law in order to carry on living the way of life that they become accustomed to. |

Mossopp: It wouldn't be EXACTLY a ban. Just limitation on the consumantion after certain hours in public places. Yet I do agree that this law is uterly stupid, as it's so hard to control whet people do it their spare time... and no ban was EVER good... just look at the USA situation in the 30s with prohibition. It boosted the alcohol production and moved it to illegal waters. |

We have similar regulations over here. For example, the operating hours of my local Liquorland are as follows:
Sun: 10-6 Mon: 10-7 Tue: 10-7 Wed: 10-7 Thu: 10-8 Fri: 10-9 Sat 10-9 |

:none: whoah...def. a problem
Canada enforces a form of prohabition...ur not alowed to drink in public, just in provate homes and liscenced public places (bars, resturaunts, clubs). Its meant more as a way to be civil, than to regulate the public coz alcaholics can still go to a bar and drink their asses off. I found it strange to hang out in the US and see people drinking all over the place and in the streets. It just seemed wrong LOL. |
