Of course people are going to abuse the 24-hour drinking law (Daily Echo, September 2) that, unfortunately, is what humans do.

We will never live in a perfect world, but the way of human beings is to desecrate any and all good things they are given.

It would take such a small effort to enjoy just a few drinks and go home happy, or clear up the refuse you have left behind.

As ever, it is the minority who spoil it for the majority by going over the top, which in turn brings the police, hospitals and local councils into an equation which common sense, decency, thought for others, and self control, would have avoided.
