For cheap alcohol bars in Oldham

Is this a good way to stop binge drinking?

In my opinion, you can't really knock something that hasn't been tried in the first place

i can't see that helping at all.

if my town introduced that, i'd either just drink more before i went out, or alternately go to a different town.

and this bit
"hire up to six extra door staff and pay to post two police officers in the bar for the duration of the drink promotion. "
really comes across as stupid, what bar is going hire 6 door staff they don't need and then pay two police officers to stay in the bar?

Just out law booze all together. It worked really well here in the U.S. when we tried it.

I agree. It's ridiculous, they should either forget the idea or ban the happy hour promotion all together. The reality of happy hour is get bums on seats and sell product, sell more means buy cheaper, means ready and steady profit. You could't make a profit selling beer cheap to less people and with the added cost of the new staffing ratio's.So you may as well quit the happy hour, which is what the council want them to do anyway.

Why the f*** do they want to stop binge drinking, anyway? It's not done quite enough, in my opinion.

To stop violent behaviour amongst the youth, it is quite disgusting how violent places can get

It was kind of a joke. Seriously, though, it is possible to binge drink responsibly. Most people don't get violent when they drink a lot.
