Darryn Turbocharged January 19, 2015 Author Share January 19, 2015 Something from my own history... Six o’clock closing has been seen by many commentators as teaching two generations of Kiwi men to drink as fast as possible, contributing to a binge-drinking culture. While early closing was promoted as a way to ensure that men got home to their families at a respectable hour, critics questioned the state they were in when they did so. I very seriously wonder what the idea of "cannot have a beer in public after 10:30" is going to promote. In some senses it attempts to address a problem in isolated areas - But is it using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut, and what is it teaching people about Singapore? About personal responsibility? About doing what is right? ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktglfc Hypersonic January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 If the law passes you won't be able to have a beer at a BBQ... Faint lor... table1-19115.jpg Drastic move... Why penalise commoners who drink responsibly? Haiz.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atonchia Supersonic January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 Sg we have a lot of law...example no smoking near shopping centre, bus stop, playground, void deck, corridor and MRT. but what is the point when there is no enforcement! That's what I thought so too. Then realise smoking is governed by NEA Drinking is enforced by police, thus could be more effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 Good lah I suppork. Ppl will stop drinking in void decks and parks. If can discourage ppl to drink and drive lagi better. Drinking responsibly is just a myth made up by drunks. What good can come out of drinking? If it's that good why dun your boss let you drink while you are working? Should end this BS long ago. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosaria Turbocharged January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 (edited) If i am not mistaken, the UK also has law prohibiting drinking liquor in public places. Problem is how to enforce? Police patrols already stretched out thinly such that you rarely even see them. Edited January 19, 2015 by Sosaria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosaria Turbocharged January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 Also i figure if the police can be so "on the ball" to enforce the no-drinking rule, why not just look out for and take action against drunks causing trouble in the first place? Many people have a beer in public without being drunk and making trouble - seems overkill to target everybody with this law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact their business may improve after 1030pm. But I forsee the sales of opaque water bottle to increase. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
