The insignificant nobody me do agree with your points. Sadly, there exists the few minority who causes mishaps & should be banned from alcohol if they cannot hold alcohol & engage in anti-social behavior, causing harm to oneself & society. May govts deal with a lighter hand than a broad sweep to ban or have time limits on the greater majority whom do behave responsibly with alcohol, to chill, to relax the over-worked minds of hardworking Singaporeans, & remove personal social inhibitions due to shyness..,
Only losers drink until unconscious.
The winners sip a cocktail, enjoy the conversations and the live band's music. Just a light buzz from the alcohol.
Alcohol makes people spit out truth, and makes the shy ones open up by removing their social inhibitions.
In order to help F&B establishments, as well as liquor trade survive, may they each be empowered to watch out for drunkards & social miscreants, to educate & warn them of the consequences, & call an established security hotline for assistance to deal with such delinquents male or female before they harm themselves & others whom had behaved responsibly.
Singapore touts itself as a 24/7 tourist attraction as well as a responsible nation with hardworking citizens working on day AND night shifts in trade & service sectors. Time limits on alcohol consumption will only restrict & deprive those hardworking citizens whom work on night shifts, from a chance to relax their minds with loved ones and friends responsibly, as well as touristy night spots for tourists whom have individual limited time to spend & experience life in Singapore in a more informal & relax manner.
Thus, so long as each - from individual to establishments behave responsibly & supported by security & legal apparatus, most whom are responsible will get to enjoy Singapore more, and miscreants dealt with STIFFER sentences to rehabilitate & correct their errors should they behave anti-socially & cause problems to others, the way we Spore dealt with drunk drivers thru breathalyzer tests & its consequences.
Being drunk IS NOT & CANNOT be a legal excuse for anti-social behavior, as education, warnings & psychological evidences had long been taught to all on the side effects of alcohol if one is incapable of responsibilities & sound mind after a couple of alcoholic drinks, a free choice to avoid such that they did not undertake & thus must face the consequences if harm to others had been evident.
