IT is an utter disgrace that over a million people have been victims of booze-fuelled yobs in the past year.

We allow unlimited access to alcohol which practically anyone can get their hands on. Yet it is a drug ten times more damaging than cannabis .

Many of our city centres after dark are no-go areas and the Government on the whole is pleased how the new licensing laws are going. First alcohol makes mad those it kills.
