A drink anyone?

Drunken stars' will be wondering what the hell happened to their New Years Eve celebrations today, when they awake to find themselves in a Police cell, charged with various offences.

No doubt they will blame everyone else for their woes, but they can take heart - that they have well and truely been passed the torch from last years drunken idiots.

Now, I've never been a fan of Aussie cars - in fact turning them upside down and setting fire to them is probably preferable to actually owning or driving one. But legally the car must be owned by you, and not by the couple of sad looking locals who called the Police. Also setting fire to a car in a campsite surrounded by tents and other cars isn't the best of ideas either!

So the Police arrived to arrest the culprits, only to deal with a bunch of drunken idiots who decided to attack said police with bottles. It's a shame the Police always seem to have to pick up the pieces after stupid legislation is pushed through without thought. There's never time to do it right - but there's always time to do it over. Also contrary to my previous bits of satire regarding the Police I do support them in the good community things they do, I just wish they weren't a division of the governments revenue collection team.

Anyway - I think it is time to seriously look at the way we drink as a nation. It's not what we drink - it's how we drink. And we drink bad.
