Does banning alcohol curb drunkenness? Swiss cities try it out...

A nighttime ban on the sale of alcohol in Geneva has led to a marked decrease in the number of youths admitted to hospital with alcohol intoxication.

However, attempts by authorities in two towns in central and eastern Switzerland to curb the consumption of alcohol among the younger generation have proved less effective.

It is a familiar sight in many cities and towns across Switzerland: young people gather outside railway stations, in underground passageways and in parks, a six-pack of beer under their arm or a bottle of cheap spirits in their hand. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Residents in Zurich not happy with prostitutes...
  2. Zurich planning drive-in sex-boxes...
  3. Swiss cities turning into late night battle zones...
  4. Yes, this happens even in Switzerland...
  5. Very drunk foreigner in China makes a fool of himself!!!
  6. Just a bit too drunk!!!
