Alcohol the fall guy again


Police are blaming the violent Waikato (I always read the Waikato Times because stuff happens there) on drunken youth. Alcohol really is getting a bad rap at the moment. Ultimately it is still the person who uses it irresponsibly that should carry the can. But I am wondering if we won't ultimately see the re-emergence of a temperance movement?

I think that there needs to be a look at the effects of drug usage, especially 'P', as a cause of increased violence and anti-social behaviour. However there can be no doubt that alcohol fuels violence, most notably in the domestic situation.
