I think some of the reasons is because, most of us do things in moderation, like speeding, but only on open roads where it is safe, or drinking moderately, but there is getting more and more people who think that road safety is someone elses problem, same as drinking in excess... but they still expect them to be picked up and stitched up when they split the forehead open falling over whilst pissed.
There was mention that those, who are pissed and have accidents, may well be charged a small fee for treatment, whilst this goes against the grain of why we have the NHS.... but things have changed since it was setup, and if you can't control your drinking, get so pissed you hurt yourself, should you be treated for free?
