Are you saying that aussie has half the problem with bringe drinking than new Zealand because there achole is twice as much? I've herd of people on a boat drink meths because they ran out of achole. Look at smoking. Do less people smoke because of price or does crime go up? Trying not to be the grammar or spelling police, but after almost a month of achole, it's spelt alcohol. It might make your point come across better to alot of people on here who may think you've just had a bit too much to drink before typing. |

There was also one on the first night with some drunken ginga d**khead (sorry, no offence to gingas)spoiling for a fight, with his idiot mate bouncing around like a kangaroo trying to take on any comers. The ginga took on a girl first and that got up everyone, he then got a cheap shot in at one of the guys in our stand then took off. We saw him coming back along the bottom and pointed him out to a security guy. Another of our guys restrained the ginga while security called for back up, in the meantime another guy took offence to the gingas behaviour and got a real good shot on him (should have heard the ginga wail then)so he got another shot for his trouble. Security dragged him away until the police arrived and took him away. Apparently the same guy did similar things last year (was recognised by someone). This all happened just before start finish line. sounds like the gutless huntly supporter at teams in akl a year or two ago..was threatening to hit my (ex) wife...man what hero..nearly copped more than he bargained for...him and his mate..a couple of real blowers of the ol beef whistle |

That little group were sitting not far from us and consumed a lot of alcohol as the night went on and I was not suprised it ended in a scrap. Could not see what happened as every body stood up. Security and Police cannot have done much as they were back the next night sitting in the same seats As it is a City Council venue I do think Host responsibility failed. I reckon double the price of alcohol Its illegal to sell alcohol to drunk people. |

maybe it will put a few people of at that price Do you really believe that? I mean I don't wanna tell you you're wrong... but you're wrong. no, he's correct. every time the price is doubled the useage drops dramatically, many stop buying altogether, and the drunks who cant stop have to cut their use. plenty of proof,do some research. |

Those that have to drink at the teams still find the money no matter what price is being charged, I suspect more than a few of them are well on the way before they even arrive at the venue & what they buy once there just finishes them off
Sometimes I wonder how many races some people actually end up seeing with constant trips to the bar etc

Most of us go to see a show ,it is common knowledge that some one will step out of line in the course of the evening through the dreaded drink ,but it is dealt with fairly promptly .
You will always get some loud mouth ,but thats the nature of this type of event .
People will buy alcohol regardless of the price as most dont pay cash for it these days its all on the plastic card ..till they have stop credit by then its to late or they use or find another plastic fantastic in the wallet .Its not just the younger generation ,but the older ,also it is quite frowned upon if you cant buy around of drinks for your mates .
It is an experience in life you can learn from ,but others just cannot ,thats there choice ..
