...Drinking.

According to the BBC, MP's are calling for a happy hour ban.

It's great that we're having a discussion about how to change the perception towards Alcohol in the UK, but this ban is not that way to do it.

You don't change people's attitude with price - you only change how often they can afford to do something. This just means that people who want to get drunk will do it one night a week rather than two.

You may argue that this result is good enough, but it's not. It doesn't in anyway help our end goal which is to have a more social and sustainable town centres in the evenings.

What we need is to encourage people to stay in one place and drink less by changing licensing laws and working with publicans.

This may mean that prices will increase because landlords still need to earn a living, but crucially it will be a consequence of a change in attitude and not a failed attempt at a driving this change.
