The idea

-issue fines for drinking offenses including to offer drink to a minor
-increase fines and criminal categorization of anti-social behavior

-stop retailers from discounting alcohol, increase tax of alcohol after a certain time and more during weekends perhaps based on consumption rates
-make parents more socially responsible for minors
-more clarity and security for people against sexual assult, harassment and other offenses as a result of drinking
-increase criminal categorization of hooliganism
-evaluate other eu countries to erradicate problem
-provide a separate service that controls and resolves anti-social behavior

-increase fines for public littering such as in singapore etc
-better labelling of health warnings on alcoholic beverages
-disallow open containers of alcohol in moving vehicles
