When I was in NZ's MIQ you were only allowed a certain volume of alcohol - e.g. X beers, 1 bottle of wine, or something like that each day, and to get more on later days you would have to put the consumed bottles out for collection, so you couldn't store them and then binge drink.
Seemed entirely reasonable to me.

- olliej 5y agoI like sambuca which I don't know how to make, but I'm also genuinely curious as to how long fermentation and distilling would take
- brnt 5y agoThis sort of rule is indicative of some problem. Is binge drinking such a big problem down under?

- olliej 5y agoI think it's reasonable when people are confined to a hotel room for two weeks.
- shapefrog 5y agoIs 'the line' that is being crossed 6 alcoholic beverages a day rather than 7 when it comes to the government infringing on peoples rights? Confining them (at their own expense) to a small room for 2 weeks gets a free pass?
- brnt 5y agoIt's reasonable that governments would regulate what the WHO classifies a hard drug.
