Some time ago i posted a thread stating that I believe drunks should be charged for using the ambulance service, after all we almost lost youngest because there were none available. |

couldn't agree more - drunks cost the country millions in policing alone - they cause domestic violence, havoc in A & E Departments, kill innocent people and other drivers on the roads - about time this government cut out these double standards - they allow advertising of alcohol yet a cigarette smoker is villified and treated like a leper - yet smokers don't cause havoc in A & E Departments, they don't beat their wives up after having a fag - grrrrrr |

I'm with the rest of you, same with the guilty party in RTAs, the problem would be that the drunk that was picked up probably wasn't the one making the call, so could argue they aren't responsible for the bill. :-( |

I'm OK back in bed now, at least it wasn't another blood clot on lung. Battered and bruised :-( |

As someone who, in the past has had 'well over the top', I never required either police or ambulance to take me home, neither did a taxi ever refuse to take me home. If any of the above had happened just once, I would have been mortified! :-S |

Maggie they are half cut before they get into pubs and clubs. At the hotel we never served anyone who had had enough alcohol in our opinion. |

my sister's husband is an alcoholic - neither will admit it though - and he's a consummate liar - because of him my sister has had no contact with me for going on eight years - she's my only sibling - looking back on various events over the years I now realise that she is probably an alcoholic too - drink always played such a large part in their lives |
