Everyone to the Casino!!

Will make people have to choose their venue to go to more carefully.

Kidding right. How backwards can Adelaide go.

Just you watch. We're not done yet.

Well I'm an advocate for closing them all at midnight Fridays and Saturdays, and 10pm week nights - and offering a night's accommodation in the "tank" for public drunkenness.
Then I'm a health professional, intending to be around for a long time, who rarely has more than two drinks in any 24 hours.

"Backwards" is in the eye of the beholder - I see it as fighting back against an accelerating reversion to neolithic drunken animalism.

Are you f##king kidding me mate???? Shut them at midnight?? Are you part of the fun police or something? That's a ridiculous proposal old man.

People need to learn to hold their Drink. Courts need to get tough on the dickheads and lawyers need to stay the hell away from the so called 'little angels' standing before the magistrate.....

[RustyCage]

The whole "no serving people who are hammered" rule needs to be enforced more. So many times at a pub you'll see someone stagger up to the bar and somehow get served.

Two great points there lads, it's just common sense.

Absolutely, and entirely by choice.
Even as a teenager, and in my 20s, pubs and clubs just were not my scene.

A friend in the business took me into one of the popular clubs once some years ago shorting the queue because of his connections.
I made my excuses to leave after about 20 minutes because of the distorted and incoherent noise levels.
(It's not that I object to volume if it is clear - I have eight 25cm bass speakers in my living room at home.)

Bring back the prohibition!!! Someone tell me why you need to be out drinking at 3am anyway?!?

Having a good time

I've never quite understood why one needed to be drunk, or drinking, to have a good time.

I did get mildly drunk once in about 1976 or so and took steps to make sure it never happened to me again.
I'd been guest speaking at a function at Ayer's house and didn't notice how many times the waiter refilled my wine glass during the follow up discussion.
It hit me as I was driving home - not a good idea I realised in the morning when I couldn't remember all of the drive home...

However, I had hung up my suit and put my shoes away, and I remembered the name of the lady who'd come home with me.
(Thank goodness!)

Weren't they called speakeasies back then?

That was when my mother and father were in their 20s.
My 20s were in the later 1960s - the beginning of the era when women were chanting "Make Love not War!"
(And the "see-through blouse" became a fashion in the 1970s about the time bras were being burned not worn.)

You old devil.

You've obviously never worked hospitality Psyber.
We used to shut the pub at midnight/1am sometimes and after serving all night we were gagging for a beer. Thankfully there was a joint nearby that stayed open later that pub workers from all around the area would go to and have a few to unwind. God forbid it was open that late.

Good luck enforcing that - it may well cost you your job
