Liquid license

In light of the current situation of alcohol serving stopping by midnight thanks to liquor license restrictions...there is certainly a need to highlight this highly aggravating situation. Although it is done to reduce the levels of drunkenness on campus and the surrounding areas it has to be said that the exact opposite effect is occurring. For instance, now there is a higher need to get drunk earlier at the any form of pre-drinking activity. In all honesty it makes perfect sense, why drink slowly and then plan to get drunk at one of the local watering holes, for a larder cost to yourself, than just buy a bottle of Black Horse for R40 odd and get as drunk faster and cheaper?
To some smart minded people, this is the obvious solution to the problem hence there is far less incentive to spend lots of money at one of the bars or clubs due to this beverage restraint. Most people I know, including myself are far less interested in buying drinks in clubs or bars due to the fact that it becomes an inconvenience when you want to continue the good times but the bar is closed.
It really makes no sense for the local government or whoever it is enforcing such a law to continue defending it because it is a nuisance to both us, and them because the police are then involved in continuously checking bars and clubs to see if people are serving alcohol. The solution, relax the law and put yourselves under less pressure.
