No more glass in bars/restaurants?

You’d have to be very ill to overpower the taste of a lagavulin.

I tried it once, and thought it tasted like urine. And not just that weak, had-too-many-beers-need-to-take-a-slash-in-the-park urine, but that flourescent yellow I-must-have-sleepwalked-and-eaten-a-whole-packet-of-berrocas-in-the-night type urine.

But hey, maybe I’m just a bogan who doesn’t get it.

(Yes, you have permission to do something with that last bit)

As one who has been appreciating fine malts for over 30 years I feel required to take great umbrage at the maltist comments in this thread.

The Islay malts (I’m sipping a Bowmore right now) are one of the things that make our sojourn on this ball of dust slightly bearable.

And if you think Lagavulin is overpowering, I recommend you try a drop of Laphroaig. Now there’s a tipple that should be approached with caution. My daughter has to leave the room when I have a glass of it in my hand due to the strength of the aroma.

Oh give me that Lagavulin! Can you taste the sea???

That’s because I pissed in it.

Should happen though, have you seen the pretentious types sipping their single malts and babbling about peat?

I think you’ll find it to be more of a slurred, muttering sort of sound.

You need a new idea.

You telling me I’m wrong?!!?!?!?! I’ll f**king glass you.

Soon public bars and clubs are likely to be padded cells. Everyone sits on an ergonomic hopper-ball drinking beer or wine from a tetra-pack. No pool tables or dart boards – nerf toys might be the closest anyone gets to a fun game. And you’ll only be allowed into the place if you have a permission note from Mummy or Daddy.

If (not that I ever would) I wanted to make a weapon out of a drink can, it would probably take me all of 3 seconds to twist the can (like wringing a wet towel) and turn it into two weapons that could take a person’s eyes out.

Ridiculous. How about policing the liquor laws properly in known trouble spots.

I don’t know, hmm, maybe it is because people have a tendency to not do this type of thing when the Police are around?

Unfortunately the Police can’t be at all 100 or so pubs and clubs at the same time. What is there 10 copper’s doing beat’s and 10 in the new alcohol team, and most Friday and Saturday night’s there is 5-10000 people in the clubs, don’t you think it is time that liquor licence holders and people who go out drinking start acting more responsibly?

The Police can not do everything to stop this, they can enforce the laws when they are around, they can be a presence at some times, but ultimately people need to act and behave in a way that stops people from getting hurt.

Not serving people alcohol until they can’t walk or want to fight, or not drinking till you fall over or want to fight?

It doesn’t mean people should stop having fun, but be more responsible. You say glassing’s aren’t a problem in Canberra? You need to get out more champ, just cause you don’t hear about them doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Anything they can do to stop them from happening, the better.

I very much doubt that much glassing of *#@!s goes on in Aubergine and the like.
