» dantilles - Anti-boozing advertisements?

Yeah, the government has been trying to do its best, particularly to counter drink driving. We've had some very graphic anti-drink driving adverts over the years, many of which are obviously aimed at young (usually male) drivers.

There has also been a recent campaign, supported financially by some large alcohol companies, encouraging young people to drink less.

Changing attitudes in this way certainly helps a bit but I would really like to see the government make it easier for pubs and bars to stay open later. Longer opening hours should, over time, change our drinking culture and prevent the kind of binge drinking which has become normal with our pubs closing so early.
