Pick on someone your own size
Australia has elected a right barsteward as Prime Minister. Even though Kevin Rudd was famously caught drunk as a lord in a strip club, he has launched a campaign to stop people drinking in Aus – and even picked a fight with this poor little fellow. Story Here

What a bunch of idiots! As the landlord said, “It was all a bit of fun.”
As a resident of the UK, I find it interesting that raising the tax on alcopops by 70% was supposed to stop young girls drinking them. In my opinion (and from what I see out and about in the UK), attempting to tax something with an aim to price people out of buying it just makes people switch to a cheaper product. Tax alcopops, the children will switch to cheap cider. It’s a difficult to win situation, but I firmly believe that educating parents and children alike about drinking in moderation will result in less teenage drunkenness.
I bet the extra money the government is making from this extra tax isn’t going into alcohol education, or rehabilitation, or building more social areas for teenagers to go an meet.

Good response Sheymouse. I think somewhere along the line the younger generation lost that art of drinking properly.
