It's not a realistic prospect but I'd probably say it'd possibly do some good. Most people can handle their drink but it's the few that use it as an excuse to act like apes who are the real problem.

Having a vodka and coke right now

Its a shame how the minority cause a huge problem with drinking and not being able to handle it, but the majority of people drink sensibly and those are the ones affected by the idiotic minority u see on a friday night throwing up in alleyways or shouting abuse at both the police and general public. This is the type of situations you see again and again, and it gives not only alcohol a bad name but the country itself.

Drink: if it was invented yesterday, it'd be banned tomorrow.

[bansheewails]

It was banned in American in the 1930's and look what happened there. It should not be banned. Jesus if everything was banned that wasn't good for you we would be sitting at home wraped on cotton wool and forced to jog until we were all size 8. No more nannying from the state please.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Drinking and smoking will never be banned in this country, the government make way too much money from it. Fact.

Should it be banned? Nah, we live in too much of a nanny state now as it is.

How?

Sitcoms and soaps have glorified drink for too long - AbFab, Men (drinking) Badly. Corrie, ENDERS, Emmerdale, all set in pubs.

Drinking isn't fun or a laugh at all. It causes the trheepennies, depression, accidents, violence.

More education and less glorification.

I can't either anymore, I'm actually devastated The smallest amount gives me wicked heartburn and a migraine type headache, and not the next morning either, within minutes of drinking it. Am rediscovering beer and lager now, it's the only alcohol I seem to be able to tolerate.

If its the cheaper red wines(discounted bottles from supermarkets etc) that cause that, it could be the additives that are used to quicken the process, there are a couple of tricks to try, get a bottle and let it stand totally undisturbed for about a month so that the chemicals settle, then pour while ensuring you disturb them as little as possible.

A quicker way is to nuke it, microwave a glassful, for about 20 seconds on high power.

I dont get them, I always have a pint or two of water before sleeping. That helps rehydrate the brain and flush the toxins from the body.

Queasy stomach - have a fry up/or egg based meal - lots of protein.

Dehydrated - Irn Bru/Vimto/Red Bull etc

Top tip though if you have a headache dont take paracetamol, take anything but. Believe it or not it will make you feel even queasier.
