As for the rest, go to the drive through & put some in the fridge at home, finish work & go home.

Why should they miss out on the chance to go to a pub and socialise?

They don't, they can go to the pub on their days off.

Why should they miss out on the chance to go to a pub and socialise after work?

Exactly what size group of people are you arguing for, .001%, .01%, 1%

And why does this miniscule portion of the population have more rights than the larger majorities wishes.

Anyone who needs to go to the pub at 12.30am on a Wednesday night needs to actually ask some questions of themselves.

Nobody said anything about "needs to".

Shift workers who finish around 11pm or midnight might like to go to the pub afterwards to have a few drinks with other people. To socialise.

What questions do they need to ask of themselves, and how are they any different than the people who go to a pub after 5pm?

And I have provided the scenario of the most popular shift industries.

As I said in my 1st post if Australians could actually drink responsibly we wouldn't need these laws.

And seeing it wasn't until the 90's pubs started staying open until the wee hours of the morning, what has changed in these individuals & how did they cope the many decades before when pubs closed at 11pm - 12am( that's CLOSED not just lock out).

How did these industries even find workers when pubs CLOSED at 6pm?

Do they have to ask questions of themselves too?

So your now using the longweekend debate style, forget about the thread & topic of discussion & focus on 1 sentence from a poster with an opposite view.

Ok The key word in you tunnel vision is NEED.

Frankly IMHO anyone who NEEDS to drink alcohol everyday after work is a sad case, but thats just it Greg it's my opinion.

The facts are the lock out laws seem to reduce alcohol fuelled violence & this is backed by evidence in both Newcastle & now Sydney.

The few 1000 people you seem to think are being discriminated against will just have to suck it up, & enjoy a drink on their days off.

OR go to the suburbs just a few klm's from the lock out zone & SOCIALISE.

I agree with you, and I clearly stated that nobody is talking about "needs to" (in my previous post).

So, let's just put that to one side, because we are on the same page: nobody "needs to" drink.

Now, you said:

"Anyone who needs to go to the pub at 12.30am on a Wednesday night needs to actually ask some questions of themselves."

Firstly, what questions do they need to ask of themselves?

Secondly, how are they any different to the people who go to a pub after 5pm - why should they be denied the chance to socialise at a pub after work?

And finally, do the people who go to the pub after 5pm need to ask questions of themselves too?

Boo hoo. Look at it this way. Alcohol-fuelled violence is down in lock-out areas.

You are of course correct there. Unfortunately, those patrons that cause all the one punch issues, bashings, anti-social behaviour etc have moved on to areas where the operating hours are the same, the grog is cheaper, the bands are better and the security not as stringent. The problem has just changed suburbs.

So make it state-wide.

This is the biggest play of a BS self interest story I have ever heard

Whinging bar owners are behind this.

How long does it take to get pissed?

I can do it in a couple of hours if I try.

I would have midnight closing if I ruled the world!

What about the people who finish work at midnight, and want to go to the pub for a few drinks?

Not everybody works 9 to 5.

Tough titties!

Go to the club in the morning for a few!

You wont get done for DUI either which is a plus!

Or go to the bottle shop and take a six-pack home and watch a movie.

Last time

If we have put "NEEDS" aside & agree there is no need for me to answer any of your distracting questions.

If they don't NEED a drink whether they can get one or not is irrelevant.

But here goes.

Am I an alcoholic & is alcohol affecting my life in a detrimental way.

Because Australian society is too immature to allow the service of alcohol after a certain time because we somehow have the idea drinking until unable to control yourself is heroic, instead of moronic.

As stated, anyone who Needs a drink after work does need to ask themselves questions whether that finish time is 8am, 8pm or 12am.
