BC Premier Sets Good Example for BC Drinkers

Well, the side effects of former lush and Premier of BC, Gordon Campbell's cash grab from the pockets of 20something drinkers is confirmed: Wakefest will not operate in Kelowna again, due to the lack of moderation shown by Wakefest patrons, many of whom showed up without a ticket.

The crowd got so bad the Kelowna RCMP almost panicked and called in the riot squad, which would have been wonderful to see in action throwing tear gas to pacify the crowd as they stumble away with eyes tearing.

Other venues cancelled due to hard drinking rowdies:

• Vancouver's First Night Festival


• White Rock's Sandcastle Competition


• North Vancouver's Hose Reel Festival


• Kelowna's Regatta


• Vancouver's Sea Festival

WTF is with people who drink to excess and then act out of control? Don't they care that the BC government is laughing all the way to the bank?

Probably not, but with government coffers bursting at the seams with millions of provincial sales tax dollars you'd think someone with a sober head in Victoria is actually pressuring bars, clubs, lounges and restaurants to put up pro-moderation posters to curb thirsty patrons' excessive drinking.

Sadly though, most recreational drinkers just laugh at the posters and drink more.
