Q.'How can we make money from alcoholics and binge drinkers?'
A.'allow supermarkets to sell cheap booze 24/7, never close the bars and fine people for being drunk!'

Its pathetic how greedy and selfish society has become.
They would soon change their tune if one of their children was to die in one of these privately run (i.e. forever cost cutting profit motivated) Drunk tanks.

Its an utterly moronic idea.
Nobodys in any doubt its a problem but instead of greedy little pigs profiting from it and revelling in their holier than thou attitudes the problem needs to be addressed at its source rather than trying to profit from the result of it.

Educating kids about the dangers of alcohol abuse properly at school and stopping glamorizing it on tv with crap like geordie shore would be a responsible start.

Treat the problem at its root because treating the result of the problem achieves nothing.

By all means fine the people that are stupid enough to be picked up in a pile of their own piss and vomit and taken to hospital but put that money to the NHS and towards educating children not to do that in the first place.

The problem is its seen as fun and a cool thing to do and it will take a generation to change that perception.
