I read a fascinating article on this a few weeks back after The Royal Marsden Hospital fire. Anyhow it was showing the cost and problems that binge drinking caused the NHS and how because each weekend A & E was full of people with drink related injuries in there money was being taken from other area's to fund it.
Having read that article I would be in favour of it BUT as the above people say where would it stop and how would it be enforced and so on. I also think that the NHS is on it's knee's and living in a country where I have to pay for treatment I guess I can see both sides of the fence.
If I can find said article I'll post it.
