Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, streets in towns and cities are teeming with young people who have consumed huge and dangerous amounts of alcohol. Many Members have travelled to various European towns and capital cities. It is extraordinary that at weekends, streets in German or Scandinavian towns are deserted by 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. These are so-called liberal countries in which we are told everything goes, but they have an entirely different attitude to alcohol and the people of those countries appear to be able to enjoy life and themselves without becoming involved in a drinking culture similar to that which obtains here. This drinking culture needs to be analysed, attacked and reversed as a matter of urgency.
