PARIS, May 19 (Reuters) - France is considering a ban on happy hours in bars and on the sale of bottles of vodka and other strong liquor in nightclubs as part of efforts to curb binge drinking among young people, an official said on Monday.
The proposed measures are being discussed with producers and distributors of alcoholic drinks and decisions are expected within weeks, said Etienne Apaire, head of a government body in charge of the fight against addiction to drugs or alcohol.
"What we have seen in recent years is an increase in alcohol consumption among young people, and in particular an increase in the kinds of behaviour that lead to drunkenness," Apaire told Reuters in a telephone interview. More here:

Yes -- punish everyone for the "possible" behavior of a few -- good thinking, comrade. Ban happy hour but it's ok to let the Muslims riot and burn your cars and cities. I'd like to propose a ban on "behavior that leads to socialism/communism." How bout that, Frere jacqueass. Stop stealing people's freedom -- if they commit a crime, punish them, otherwise, pipe down.
