Westway in trouble again

[Darren]

Well it seems after another fight in the Westway pub a few weeks ago the police have placed an order on the pub stopping anyone under the age of 18 from entering, from my experience with this pub there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to tell the customer when they have had enough and refuse to serve them any more, they just seem to let people get as drunk as they want even if it means calling an ambulance because someone has drunk to much.

I forgot to mention they are only allowed to serve in plastic glasses to, i never did like that landlord in the past i had a mate who used to get very drunk in there resulting on a few occasions in an ambulance, i rang the landlord and told him he should not serve people when there clearly to drunk his reply was he could not legally stop them, and we all know that landlords have a duty of care and have every right to refuse to serve if necessary, it was only a matter of time before someone got badly hurt on this occasion i think someone was glassed, lets hope he is ok.

Legally a licensee is breaking the law if he serves anyone who is drunk. Unfortunately not often enforced.

Because as a law it's pretty much unenforceable with any legal definition of drunkeness. And how could you ever define it? Are you drunk after 2? 6? 12?

Is that pints or time

I've been drunk on 4 pints before, and other nights drank 10 and felt alright (albeit slightly off balance).

I'm normally gone after 1!

Ah, the afternoon session...so many happy days wasted.

I was thinking glasses i.e. Pints/ Large Glasses of Wine/ Double Measures of Spirits.

Also my original post should have said "without any legal definition of drunkenness" but it is now too late to edit it.

Basically it boils down to whether you're capable of paying or not.
