longer drinking hours in UK pubs

The Government is to allow longer opening hours in UK pubs- in part to cut down on violence as people won't be thrown onto the streets at the same time anymore.
Finally, it seems, everyone is up in arms as they worry about more drunken violence etc due to more alcohol consumed.
Let us look at the facts.
1. People who want to get drunk in pubs, most can achieve this aim either just through pubs or from night clubs if they need to.
Those few who cannot do that, may drink more.
In a worst case scenario, the other 99.9% of this set will continue to achieve their aim, but will presumably take a little longer [ go out later maybe?]
Thus the Bill must achieve it's primary aim , even if it doesn't achieve it's secondary ideal, to foster *Continental style* boozing.
It is a Law that cannot be abused [ except for more drinking during the week- and increasing throwing sickies maybe- but people can stil do that under present legislation ] and should be welcomed as a superb piece of lateral thinking .
I commend it to he House, and please could its' critics think about it.....
