the majority don't at the moment. it's the minority that cause the problems.

I don't think that the police chief in question gives two hoots about cirrhosis.  I think his stance is more to do with anti-social behaviour and getting the crime figures down.

The image of the british abroad is continually tarnished by the those who get drunk on cheap vino and start causing trouble.

However the locals abroad do not seem to have the same attitude towards alcohol, despite the fact that it is much cheaper in the majority of Europe.  So I have to question why that is.
