Once, in my neighborhood, there was a cerfew for what time you had to be in your house and turn off your yard lights. My family ans I are night owls. We are outside and walking around every night. ONce, they caught my dad taking a walk and arrested him. (neighborhood clubhouse= jail) we had to pay a fine and we were suspended from sports clubs in our neighborhood for 2 years. That causes conflict and we and many others move baecause of this. I don't know what happened to that rule.
Wow thats early...in England, well..where I live in Blackpool some of our clubs are open till 6am but most are open till 4am and we can come and go freely with a stamp from the club..and there is rarely mass violence, and occasional individual violence but is quickly settled down because of the amount of police and bouncers around the town..We did have lots of drink related crimes before the extra late licence was enforced and now they seem to have decreased in number.
All I can say is thank god that I dont live in Australia. While it sounds good, other then the bush fires, here in America we do have legislation, maybe it is only my state, but all the bars and clubs close at 3am. No exceptions. Last call is about 2:50 or 2:45am. Historically when laws are passed to quail something like this the result is never good. Politicians dont learn very quickly at all anywhere.
It's simple, the decisions are made due to individual's unwillingness to take responsible for themselves and drink responsibly. The legal drinking age was designed so that people would be mature enough to make intelligent drinking decisions for themselves. When that fails, people blame the bars. When bars fail to be good Nannies, the government is forced to play the role of babysitter for stupid adults.
Where i live a similar operation was applied, but for drug control. In either case, the ones who suffer the most are the business owners and eventually the general public, because of the lack of business.
If the bar doesn't sell drinks, the liquor store doesn't sell booze as it did and in both cases people get fired.
Instead of bullying barowners to comply, it would be better for the bars to take some responsibility in how much their clients drink, 4 beers is enough 12 is too much.
