Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I have heard some associations argue that music should be allowed to continue during drinking-up time, but, as the Minister said, this is also a cooling down period. One cannot finish one's drink and be on the dance floor at the same time. To do so would certainly invite an accident. I agree that the half-hour drinking up time should be for precisely that purpose and that there should be no distractions from people finishing their drinks. Given the price of alcohol today, it should be an offence to squander resources by leaving any of it behind.
