More Proof UK Run by the Stupids #3

Looks like some bright British bureaucrats seek to contribute to the world pool of dumb ideas by suggesting a ban on "happy hour".

Now, I know the Brits are no Irishmen, but...really? You guys think banning "happy hour" is going to solve all your liver disease problems? All you'll get is a bunch of pissed-off hooligans who'll be a few sterling shorter than usual, but every bit as drunk and much more angry at having been robbed of a fine tradition.

No happy hour? He'll be just as drunk, but maybe not as happy.

You guys want to stop British young adults and teens from drinking themselves to death? Why don't you try fixing the culture that drives them to drink in the first place? Talk about a band-aid solution to a cancer. It's like raising the price on razor blades. Emo kids are still gonna cut regardless.

"You raised the price of razor blades? I'm gonna kill you, Jewish capitalist bastard! Why does your God hate me?"

See? Not very effective.
