Hi Kerry, many kids will experiment with other ways to get high; but alcohol is
our number one drug problem and we don't really treat it like a drug.
The controls on sale of alcohol are less than those on tobacco,which certainly
does harm but it doesn't feed violence, vandalism or put A and E under stress
at weekends.
I am not saying reform of the liquor laws is the answer to everything but with
so much focus on crime in our inner city, it seems to me that we need to be
targeting the primary cause.
Hope you and readers can make the 7pm June 3 Forum at St Michaels Church,
Oxford Tce to allow more discussion.
