Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The 35 to 55 year olds are also answerable for poor conduct where drink is concerned. I refer in particular to drinking and driving. I grew up in an age where people could drink and drive to their heart's content, without fear of the law. Very many people – and I include myself – found it extremely difficult to give up the habit. These are often the very people to criticise the young generation who are terrific in that regard. I would probably still be at it if it were not for my children. Young people are far more responsible in that regard than we are.
