Is one inextricably linked with the other? I am just trying to tease this out, because it is fundamental. Are we saying we wish to dance all night, or dance all night with drink in our hands?

I do not know the answer. It is an important question, but I do not know how the legislation or debate frames this. It would be helpful to get to the bottom of this aspect because it does frame the ask as well. If the ask is that we want night-life to continue all night, then fine. Is this night-life all about drinking or more than that? There is a big difference. I call Ms Leonard.
