During my last visit to Dunedin I enjoyed a number of late night weekend jugs in the Bowler and I found the patrons no more intoxicated or in anyway signficantly different from those you would find at midnight on Friday at say Tylers Garage in Britomart.<br /> In an interview on 9-12 Nat Radio with Cathryn Ryan,Jenny Goodwin Professor of Social Medicine at Otago recently claimed that Otago student drinking had to be curtailed because in the liberalised market econoomy of the 2000's it had reached new excesses. Equally extraordinary was the claim on TV1 breakfast by Nadine and Peter Williams that in the 1970s students only drank beer.<br /> All I can say if you wanted to study intoxication yoy should have been at the Knox dinner on any week night after the Dental Corp Knox officers arrived back loaded from post baracks drinks.RobertMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756542835623143371noreply@blogger.com
