I SEE that the brewers are appalled at the drink-driving figures last Christmas and are asking for penalties to be increased.

Every driver knows he should not drink and drive and the brewers, who are driven by profit, must be responsible for their product and the cost to the country in so many ways.

The fact is, we have let down our young people and they will pay for it later. I think we will need God's help to restore common sense.
