Apparently we all drink too much alcohol. I've been listening to various suggestions as to how we should tackle this particular demon.
1) Increase tax on alcohol.
Obviously a few extra pence on a pint will stop everyone from drinking
2) Increase the legal drinking age to 23.
Clearly teenagers aren't resourceful enough to find ways to get hold of alcohol
3) Decrease the legal drinking age to 13.
"That will stop it from going underground"
4) Don't let advertisers make alcohol so appealing.
Apparently it's up to advertisers to try not to sell their product
5) Prohibition.
If in doubt, just ban it
But by far the best one..
6) Give everyone vouchers for a certain number of units a week, which they need to display when buying alcohol. Brilliant.
I wonder how transferable these vouchers are, as I'm sure I would make it a personal mission to use up all my family's spare weekly units.
