JDW pub limits parents to two drinks

The nanny state has arrived at the pubs. There’s nannying over the nannying. A lot of people are probably unaware that it’s illegal to be drunk while in charge of children. A lot of the time you just don’t think about it, especially if someone in the party is a driver as that person is deemed to the sensible person as well as the responsible one. But trouble begins when people start to lose control. If the children start to act up then someone needs to take responsibility for them but in a calm and humane manner. Pubs shouldn’t have to do this for them but it’s important that someone does. But it’s going to be difficult to enforce; especially during busy periods. Someone’s got to mentally log who’s drinking what and it gets more complicated when people start to buy rounds. And then you’ve got the fun of dealing with these lovely customers…
