Time nearly up on happy hour in pubs
Natalie McDermott


The latest crackdown on binge drinking could see popular alcohol promotions like cheap drinks and shooters, banned from pubs and clubs.

The new guidelines introduced by the Office of Liquor and Gaming would give director Albert Gardiner the power to cancel promotions that encourage binge drinking.

Unacceptable practices that include toss the boss, all you can drink, free drinks for ladies and extended happy hours.

Mr Gardiner says the focus is on protecting the community by reducing alcohol levels, binge drinking and violence.

But the Australian Hotels Association says licensees should be entitled to make their own responsible decisions on drink promotions.

All of the things that make Australia what it is are gradually being fucked over by right wing conservative Christian Groups. Bloody Do gooders and happy clappers should all piss off to the US if that's how they want to live. It sucks and I wish a pox on them all.

It's downright unaustralian!

Bastards!

Next they'll be banning wet t-shirts comps and dwarf throwing...

[timmyrocks]

thats just rude,
still doesnt stop you from going down the road and getting a slab of vb cans and "binge drinking"

[Wattie]

they had that harold scruby wank knob on tv this morning, wanting to ban skateboarders. and also ban MP3 players when people are near roads.
also he had a great idea about not letting people drive witht he radio on, beacuse you need to hear everything around you.

i wonder what gixxerdave thinks of that??

It's a bloody outrage it is!! How dare they try and force their own miserable, boring, conservative ways upon the rest of our lives!! I for one won't stand for it, so i'm off to the pub to drink till i can't stand no more!!!

But seriously, i can't stand how the governments solution for everything these days is to ban it or tax it away! Well i suppose, it does make more money than actually educating youngsters about things

there should be more faith left in natural selection

Oh, how can you tell 'Extreme Catholic Wanker Day', sorry 'World Youth Day' is around the corner.

All this shit is getting dragged up, due solely to outside opinion of what Australia is trying to do.

Well fuck em all, lets keep happy hour, lets play our MP3 players as loud as we fuckin want, get bigger amps and subs to piss of the guys around us with 'I love Jesus' in the back window.

Carry on rootin chicks after a big night on the piss (when we were young and single of course) and then worrying if I had a condom on

Oh yeah, give condoms to random people around Darling Harbour next week and wear t shirts with 'JESUS IS A HIPPY" on the front.

Lets ride our motorbikes without worrying if I crash do I get a neg driving charge!

Lets see more restriction on fuel hiking, public transport improvement, less means testing at tax time (just cus me and the missus work hard and do big hrs doesn't mean we should miss out on childcare rebates), making a new house available to the masses not the minority, control rates, reduce everyone to a 5 day week.

Make alchohol CHEAPER, get the people off the hard drugs by making the legal ones cheaper

Fancy canning Happy Hour, what is the world coming to,

Rant over D

[MadKaw]

Remember

Always remember what I was taught, good Cathlics don't use Condoms... The best protection is a false name

I thought it was cause altar boys couldn't get pregnant...

Why not go the whole hog and bring in prohibition - coz that works

Banning something makes people want it more

Making something more expensive does not mean people stop buying it, they are just worse off when they do

If three pints of beer is binge drinking, almost the entire UK population binge drinks and I don't see them complaining

As someone with great power once said - let them eat cake...

...then the do-gooders will want to ban cake due to an obesity n diabetic epidemic...
