crime linked to alcohol !

To the OP--Yes, clear evidence of the link between alcohol and other drugs and higher crime. Agree with the UK minister that some parts of towns cannot be visited at night by decent people. So sad, but alcohol is only part of the problem.

One more reason to live in Qatar and enjoy alcohol-free Pearl.

I fully agree about crime linked to alcohol. but problem is ppls who drink it without responsibilities. even we ban on alcohol, this ppls will turn to other thing like "Cough syrup" or similar thing that make them feel like drunk.

Nomerci, you seemt o ahve the movies quotes down pat tonight ;)

jjj, are you talking to me?

MM if you are going to quote, quote properly and state your source, otherwise, it looks like you have made the whole thing up.

Flor, JB did say all, which is what I was responding to.

Adey! My favourite aethist! How's life treating you?

I'm fine, feels very strange to be back on QL...have the lunatics taken over the asylum yet?

Diamond is back!!!!! Yah!!

How you doing?

hope not!

getting the message. It did not say ALL!

may be, jjj75 is looking for ratio of same type of crimes done where alcohol was involved / not involved, ah those will be some figures sure.

jjj75 : keep some allowance for printing error of a ministry's correct name, by the way our focus is 'alcohol'.

Sigh

lol diamond, was wondering if you were really THAT bored...;)

good to see you though:)

Oh the great Jack Nicholson...hi Nomerci, it's great to check in with QL...SSDD if you know what I mean ;)

My sister, there are many different factors for same type of 'results' but again alcohol abuse is the top most reason.

Only those whos' thinking & action was affected / impaired after consuming alcohol can explain , first hand account.

Medical studies also support this point from time to time.

Now I am hearing this loud sound..."Whooooosh"...something must have gone straight over your head jjj.:P

Nomerci, no it means you dont have an answer

You want explanations? Hah...you can't handle explanations !!!!(adapted to this case, quote from the great Jack Nicholson) :P

Nomerci, does not really explain why men do these things when alcohol is not involved

I think alcohol should be banned in the UK :P

Oh heck, make it the West in general :P:P:P

There would be no crime, no rape ..everybody would live in loving peace! :P:P:P:P

Mm what is the interior ministry in the uk? Never heard of it, did you make that up?

Good idea MM, you must write to your MP immediately and sugest this.

This bill could be reduced by educating parents about their duty to be a 'role model' for their offspring, I believe.

Well it's lucky you don't pay NI contributions there like I do then.

Report says : ''Excessive alcohol consumption costs the National Health Service (NHS) around £2.7bn a year, while the interior ministry estimates wider societal costs of around £21bn a year.''

I agree with timebandit

Crime has been proven to be linked with criminals.

People fall in line after coming in this part of world.

I agree categorically with you.

Mm that is not what jb is saying he is saying in all cases.trying telling that to the girls who were raped in uk by a bunch of sober men

you can say.

What the investigating agencies' statistics read over a period of 5 or 10 years is to be believed.

Abuse can happen regardless of whether a person is inebriated. Just look at those men on trial for raping girls in the uk!!!!!

@JB ehh???

Very true....a man can have sex with his mom or his 3 year old daughter only and only when he is drunk....

you mean an alcoholic or someone who drinks MM

When a man becomes a drunkard his family & children are the first & the most affected, later society and Govt.

A lot of crime is connected to consuming excess alcohol. Also depends on what type of person is consuming the alcohol as to what traits it will bring out in a person.

When alcohol is in 'bottle', bottle is not doing any crime.

So, Jim, what do you say ?

Lol!

Car deaths linked to young Qatari males driving recklessly! Solution ban all cars!
