Alcohol

To stop alcohol abuse all the idiots fighting in alcohol should be fined £300 and more less to spend on booze and would not penalise the sensible drinkers so no need for the unit price

How can we answer that? Some people have lots and lots of spare 300 pounds. Some people don't have a spare 3 pound.

In 'dry' states in India you can get a doctor's note stating that you're an alcoholic. This allows you to buy and consume drinks in hotel bars.
Couldn't something similar be introduced here? Poor people who really need their cheap drink are going to be punished because of the irresponsible behaviour of a few yobs.

My thinking is on those lines, Sandy.......an ID card system for alcohol up to 25. 3 strikes (perhaps weighted to the seriousness of the offence) and you are out ré buying booze. And make it a much more serious offence to be caught supplying underage or banned people alcohol....... a sort of driving licence in effect.
No system is perfect and sure there will be flaws to the above, but clobbering those who respect alcohol, to me, is nuts. Any other ways of achieving a modicum of control out there, rather than trying to machine-gun suggestions?

The squirearchy have been sozzled for generations but they were only ever foul to their employees and pets.
So if we create jobs as skivvies and substitute hounds, and distribute these newly-employed people across the land, then we solve several problems. The violence is legitimised and contained, jobs are created where none existed before, and people are acting aspirationally by aping the gentry.
You just know it makes sense.
