A speech I made about Debating Cheap Drink In Belfast UK 

Cheap Drink remains too be unbeaten; where strong alcohol remains at cheap prices.  Stormont ministers have tried too beat the drink culture, by higher prices of drink, they have failed too stop the drink culture that is sweeping Northern Ireland.  

Alcohol is being sold in shops for as little as 40p, when the current limit proposed by the Northern Ireland Executive is currently 70p.   Lidl also sell alcohol that contains four times the recommended amount of units  for an adult male for just £1.  

The Executive have made calls for them too remove the drink from the shelves in Lidl, as well as other stores that have promotional drink offers, such as Tescos as well as Marks and Spencers.  

The Government will try too remove the drink promotions from night clubs, bars and the supermarkets, but we are a country that loves our drink and nights out, How will this effect the local businesses such as nightclubs as a whole?

After all we are in a economic recession with our nightclubs and bars already seen the effects with less and less trade coming too them due too the economic downturn how will this effect our nightlife and our community as a whole. 

Is it fair too blame the drink itself, after all we have choice, the choice too choose what too drink as well as the common sense too know when you have had enough.  

Should we really blame the drink but only ourselves? 

Is this the best approach to stop our youn g ones getting alcohol, young people have limited amounts of money, but if they wanted alcohol they would always find a way to get their alcohol.   

The department of health says alcohol costs the province as much as £900 million a year, This is the price we pay for a good night out.  It seems that they have decided too blame recent destruction on the alcohol, But the alcohol is only the fuel for these activities, if they could put more money into letting people know when they have had enough alcohol they might begin too see this £900 bill lower.  The drink would remain the same bringing more money into the economy.
