one-punch laws: barry o'farrell announces swee

Of course the late night spots have nothing to do with drunks. The only people who are drunk are car drivers the rest don't count. There should be some test for patrons leaving these places. I reckon 90% are either drunk or out of their heads on drugs. Alcohol lobby is too strong always blame the patrons..... How come its the reverse with illegal drugs, always blame the seller never the buyer..
