News Article Comments : 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home'
Drinking in the pub is "potentially more explosive" than doing so at home, according to a senior Tesco lobbyist.
Emma Reynolds, the supermarket's head of Government affairs, told a conference on women and binge drinking today: "Pubs can potentially be a more explosive environment to drink in than the home."
She qualified this by pointing to problems "when drunk people get together".
Reynolds was speaking in response to claims that pushing up the price of alcohol in supermarkets would mean more people going to pubs.
Earlier, Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Sara Thornton said licensing reform had increased the workload for police.
She said three sergeants and 24 constables currently patrol central Oxford between 10pm and 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. This compares to two sergeants and 12 constables four years ago, before the Licensing Act was introduced.
Patrols are to be added on Thursday nights too, Thornton added.
The conference, called Women Finding Solutions to Binge Dri

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' Why am I involved in this trade? Simple, to make money. No other reason. Just because I think the consumer experience in another trade, which sells a smiliar product is less risky, does not actually mean anything. I am amazed you seem to think it does. Incidentally, I also have shares in both J Sainsbury plc and Tesco plc, for exactly the same reasons. Just waiting for some sucker to actually buy these guys! Ignore Gilbert, he has some misplaced jealousy which he masks through his need to disagree with everything I comment on, often just for the sake of it. I must say, it does make him look rather silly, very often, This post replies to peter giles > 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' |

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' Good girly posturing Sam, but you fool nobody. Like a lot of younger people you open your chops thinking you can say what you like wth impunity. Sorry we are not falling over in wonderment at your every utterance. You are a stranger to the truth and you post utter rubbish as if it were fact. For instance, how are those guys at the ASA getting on with all the complaints against Carlsbergs offer? With ears like yours tuned into every boardroom of influence in the trade you should have plenty to input. We look forward to that.

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' "Simple, to make money" Well congratulations girl. So what do you have to offer in return for the money you take? Oh yeah, nothing. Fine, Thanks, take some money and congratulate yourself. Well done. It just means someone else has to work harder for less. I hope one day you are the richest person in the graveyard!

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' What do you run business for? Are you operating as a charity, for the good of your customers and employees? I am afraid this route isn't for me. I only do it for the money. You appear to have a problem with that, which could easily be the source of your problems. Obviously, I expect you to lay fault for all your problems at the door of another, so please don't disappoint. edited by: Sam Bailey at: 22/10/2009 16:10:22 This post replies to Ex Sapper > 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' |

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' If you were someone whom I held in higher regard, I could have felt somewhat patronised by some of your comments. You're not, so I don't. So, it is the young and opposite sex you have problems with. How unfortunate for you. Not everyone is as narrow minded, myopic and backwards as yourelf. When are you going to realise that people will disagree with you? And then,learn to respond? The ASA have asked Carlsberg to respond to the complaints. Obviously, with your years of exerience in everything, yet nothing, you will know what comes after that. This post replies to Gilbert Bank > 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' |

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' Sam, do you actually run a pub? If not, have you ever? If you did, why not now? edited by: George Baker at: 23/10/2009 04:53:19 This post replies to Sam Bailey > 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' |

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' Supermarkets are on the defensive now that health authorities, emergency services, Police, social services etc having experienced first hand the effects of easily accessable alcohol due to irresponsible off licence sales and the effects of pre loading enroute to the temporary special offer high st venues that always appear to go out of business only to open again under different names after pre pack admins edited by: jolly landlord at: 23/10/2009 07:30:35 This post replies to George Baker > 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' |

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' Morning Chris, Thanks for that, I enjoy reading these forums they are a very useful information resource especially for someone like myself. When I come across deliberate attempts to hijack threads and posters who attack others simply to provoke negative responses I will usually ignore them to avoid looking a bigger fool. constructive unemotive criticism at least can be debated in adult fashion, using a dictionary and a keyboard to bully others is to me a sure sign of a weak and insecure character, weekends brings them out in force.
