    i was under the impression that the law had changed, and that pubs and clubs couldn't use the old "21's, 23's" routine.

    am i wrong? are they aloud to do this?

    its all very sketchy.....

    Michel McDowell changed the Equality law in the new alcohol law so they can refuse entry based on age.

    I posted a thread about the changes in the intoxicating liquor act a few weeks ago. It is a blatant attack on civil liberties, the authorities are imposing rhetoric to pretend that they care about and are dealing with the problem of binge drinking.It creates a two tier adulthood, scapegoating people in the 18-21 age group and punishing everybody for the actions of a minority.Futhermore it is based on the grossly false assumption that the only binge drinkers are in the 18-25 age group.
