1 liquor outlet or 50 whats the difference?

Give people something postive to focus on instead of abusing alcohol and the amount of places that are selling booze will naturally decline. They're providing a service, and in a capitalist world, they're entitled to and that's fair enough.

Pretty hard to drag yourself out of a deep slump though, I don't blame certain factions of society for hitting the booze pretty hard... some days you just want to escape... wouldn't be hard for some days to become most and then all days.

Sure, booze is a tool of the devil, but much of society is that devil. It's not what but how etc etc.

In Alex' at the moment, we have two HOTELS, two "taverns", and ONE liquor outlet. Auckland should follow our example. It works for US.

Mt Roskill was dry since Keith crawled out of his Hay stack,and I never had any graffiti at my workshop,well once in 8 years.A couple of years after delicensing and a profusion of Indian liquour stores in the area - and every monday morning my doors were covered in graffiti.It maybe totally unrelated,but there were certainly less undesirables wandering the area in the dry years.
