Do you want to live for another 50 years in a country which sits back and lets its young people soak themselves in drink and drugs as often as they can and doesn't try to help them?It's not fair on them and it's not fair on everyone else.We can't wait generations and neither can the young people, so come on,talk to your friends who think like you and come up with something.You have a new MP,give him something to work on.

I unfortunately do not know the answer and don't claim to, in fact I don't believe there is one.
If you look at the lifestyles and mindsets of the continental europeans compared to our own you will find we work a lot harder and *play* a lot harder. The problem isn't our attitude to drink, it is our attitude to life and I don't see how any government, especially one whose main interest is to spend more time in power rather than use the power they have for good, could do this, or even would want to as it would greatly lower the GDP.
