Most of us can get together and have a drink with friends before going home with the wobbly boots and wearing the beer goggles.
However, there is always the few that wreck it for the many; people who drink and become so affected by liquor that they either hurt themselves, hurt other people and or damage property.
This is not what the community wants or needs and it is certainly not what police and other community stakeholders want either.
Alcohol related offences occur on a daily basis in our community.
Assaults, malicious damage and general street offences occur as a direct result of persons consuming intoxicating liquor.
On Tuesday it’s Melbourne Cup day and I am sure that a number of my readers will be having a snifter after a successful day with the nags.

Just remember, know your limits. Watch your drinks and keep an eye on your level of intoxication.
We all live in this community. Let’s try and make our community a safer and better place to live by not drinking a skin full every time we go out.
Observe the alcohol free zone/prohibited areas.
All you good people out there and there are lots, if you see anyone consuming intoxicating liquor in the alcohol free/prohibited areas, being antisocial or well intoxicated, please contact the police.
