James@ if 700 thousand of us cant go out what do u think everyone will do! <--- really . Are you for real . So your saying if they ban alcohol the social scene of New Zealand will be over . Because the only reason 700 thousand people go out each weekend is to get violently drunk ? Or the only way people can have fun in New Zealand is under the influence of alcohol ? what a d!ck

Legalize weed! I concider myself as a pretty heavy drinker, i hit town each weekend n go out to have fun with mates and dance in clubs and stuff, some times never remember how i got home. I rarely get angry when drinking or get into fights but i can see how easy it is for people to go from happy to a full anger buzz and want to start scraps, just over little things that you would usually let get to you. I try to avoid weed basicially only because its illegal, but i have had it on many occasions. And whilst being under the influence of weed all i feel is like chillin out with mates and trippin and having a laugh, i find it hard to get into a angry state of mind, i just always seem to be happy and find most normal things really funny. That is not something i do everytime i am drunk. I mean, when i drink i still have alot of fun and stuff but there has been many situations that have had the potential to get out of control/ violent, luckily i can control myself. Yea so i think they should concider legalising weed, i think it is alot safer.

Wow thank you for the article an Arm and a Leg...just when Dr's were telling me that there is nothing they can do for my baby born with Eagle Barrett Syndrome a.k.a. Prune Belly Syndrome www.prunebelly.org here in NZ (he is one of only 3 in NZ) this article gives me hope that there may one day be a way to grow him a new healthy bladder and abdominal muscles and maybe kidneys!
