"Drink venues' conduct condemned"

Oooh! Yet another problem of which Ministers want to take ownership.

I like this bit best:
Health and safety hazards including overcrowding, broken glass and spilled alcohol were common, as were incidents of anti-social behaviour such as fights, assaults and criminal damage.

They need to commission a report to tell them that? Jesus wept.

And as I have pointed out before:
Alcohol Concern receive about £1 million a year of taxpayers' money for this crap, see page 22 of the accounts

What's the problem? When I was a lad in Manchester in the '70s the sound of breaking glass was the soundtrack to our nights out. When Punk came along dodging flying bottles in nightclubs kept us on our toes.

It never did me any harm!

Agreed, everyone knows you have a choice of venues for a night out and some of them are bloody risky and some of them are as safe as houses. I quite like the opportunity to chance it in a dangerous dive every now and then.
