  There are just as many outlets for alcohol in French towns - if not more - and they don't have the problems with alcohol abuse that we have in the UK. It's substantially cheaper there as well.
  I wish people would stop using cheapness and availability of alcohol as an excuse for the alcohol driven behaviour of our youth. People need to take responsibility for their own actions, rather than always blame someone or something else.
  Just because it's THERE and CHEAP - it doesn't mean that you have to drink a bucket of vodka every weekend. Get some self control.
  Shutting outlets and putting the price up will make precious little difference to the behaviour of most of these people.
  Hefty on the spot fines for public drunkenness and drinking in the street, would very quickly make a difference. But it would need to be enforced with zero tolerance.
  Anyone see that happening?

  I entirely agree with this post. Unless real and severe punishment is introduced for being drunk in a public place then the disorderly and thuggish behaviour that sometimes follows will continue.
  
  But with murderers and muggers getting off with soft sentences this is unlikely to happen unless we have some kind of complete political revolution in Britain!"
