So not viable or fair.
What should happen is any such incidents they are fined heavily, plus the medical costs.

hm...how come THAT is "harsh" and "not fair" by reason of "making all culpable to what some idiots do"

and yet the hand gun ban (which changed nothing as far as crime was/is concerned) was "perfectly fair and reasonable"??
THAT also was "collective punishment"

and wrong

and unfair to many many people

AND moreover...if "guns are unnecessary" how more unnecessary is alcohol in reality????

We are talking about drinking being charged at a high rate, which is far removed from arguing over who has a right to guns, so your argument is based off different views points where again your anger at the laws on guns is creating an unjsutified view on drinking.

Not really the issues are very much the same, vis an individual sadly caused a number of tragic deaths with a hand gun...so they were banned, thus punishing ALL who had an interest (and you must realise that I personally dont need or want a hand gun)

with drink A NUMBER of individuals year in year out cause a much larger number of tragic and unnecessary deaths (especially when combined with motors) so again ALL should under the same thinking, be punished...simply put ...whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
unless of course you stand for double standards...



Again punish those who commit wrongs whilst drinking with heavy fines. Those who drink sensible, need to not be punished with outlandish costs.
You would also make the pub industry go out of buisness.
