OZschwitz alcohol laws punish those already drinking responsibly

Government, producers, law enforcement, sellers and parents all have a role to play in bringing about a better drinking culture in this country, writes Tim Salt.

Another year, another silly season. Over the past few weeks we have seen the inevitable reports of people getting drunk and behaving badly. During schoolies week it was images of teenagers celebrating the end of school by drinking too much. And on the eve of the new year, we will no doubt see more reports of people drinking to excess and creating a headache for society. Inevitably, anti-alcohol groups have responded as they always do - by attacking the product rather than the behaviour.

Whether it is schoolies, Christmas or New Year, the argument is that if we limit the availability or type of alcohol, increase the tax or close the pubs early, the problems associated with alcohol misuse will surely start to vanish.
