    Fucking animals.

    Slightly different scenario though - passive smoking has a direct, measurable and tangible effect on non smokers in the same pub and employees. There's no such thing as automatic "passive drinking" - any harm done to third parties is as a result of specific individuals and not simply a direct result of alcohol being consumed.

    In other words, you can 100% guarantee harm to non-willing participants in a scenario in which someone is smoking and others are not. You can't 100% guarantee harm to non willing participants in a scenario in which someone is drinking and others are not. You can predict it, but you can't guarantee it, hence why I don't approve of sledgehammer legislation.

    I wouldn't say that's true. Passive smoking can be fairly harmless a lot of the time, there's no guarantee of any real harm. In any case, the ban was not just for passive smoking but also to just discourage a culture of smoking and it worked very well in that regard.

    All that being said, I'm not in favour of legislation banning stuff like Arthur's Day either. I just think people need to cop on a bit with it.

    I'd be up for that, I know a few people who are scared of clowns, a national clown invasion could be lulzy indeed ;)

    Combined with the zombie march? A drunk zombie clown march is just what this country needs. I'm with you on this one.
