Why Relaxing Drinking Hours Was A F*cking Retarded Idea (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/30062006/325/alcohol-induced-illnesses-soar.html)

relaxed from what to what? Didnt Pubs (in UK) used to close at 11 PM or something? Here they stay open to 4am.

"Time gentlement, please" came at 11pm indeed, now a pub can be open 24 hours a day if they want, which is stupid considering the binge drinking culture here in the UK, it just makes it appear all the more acceptable to drink for ages - they said it'd make people drink the same amount over more time - bollocks will it - people will drink MORE during the greater length of time. Extending the hours to say midnight or 1am would have been good, I remember when I was at uni we'd always be annoyed it was 11pm already and we were in mid-flow and were forced to finish up - what with our days usually being skewed later at both ends.

I worked the morning shift abrtending for a little while and it was depressing. Some of the patrons are graveyard shift workers getting off work, but theres the "I'm 70 and I drink every morning for the last 50 years". Yuck.
11pm last call to 24 hours is quite a change.
