i think you guys are missing my point.
Of course the responsibility lies with the munter punter, it always has....but when that munter gets too drunk can the bar (by law) still serve them....NO...its called social responsibility.
Its the same with promoting BZP based products with the consumption of alcohol...its a bad look, just like the look that catalyst had a while back with idiots sucking on nitrous in the lil corner booth....yuk! (i remember seeing this twenty sumthing chick with her head back and her eyes closed with a flaccid balloon hanging out of her mouth!)
Also, a lot of 'promotional' packs of BZP products dont contain directions on how many to take and also what not to have them with. So if you gave this pack away to some one who didn't know as much as you and I do about these things, then they may take them (seeing as their free) and carry on drinking without realing the implications of them.....therefore it is the responsibility of the supplier to give correct information....and giving them away with a drink is just stooopid!
Oh and before you ask, yes i have mixed the two together before and i was well aware of the possible consequences....hence the sore head the next day!!
I'm just raising a point that I feel is valid....i still do agree with you guys that it is up to the munter in question, but then again if this munter does take it too far who pays for his or her little trip to the A&E to get de-toxed...you and I do (well those that pay tax anyway).
So all i'm saying is sure hand the lil fuckers out if you think its good for the bar, but just think about what your promoting them with..
Maybe its like going to a swingers bar in holland and not handing out condoms at the door aight!
peace oooout

WELL I TRHINK YOU"RE MISSING THE POINT!!!!!!
AND YES COSHA THIS IS AIMED AT YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU!!!
jesus Cosha you sound like an old bastard from Christchurch...
"them damn kids suckin there nitrous and eatin there party pills and and it's my bloody taxes payin for all bloody this ya know"
hahahahaha
You have all just fallen for some bullshit media hype saying these pills are soooo fuckin bad...
The warning on the packs isn't because consuming BZP along with alcohol is going to kill you!!!!!...
it is because it makes you feel like absolute shit the next morning and it may stop you from re- purchaising the pills.
about 5 million doses of party pills have been sold in NZ... now of course none of them would of drunk exessively with them eh.
oh and how many deaths of those 5 million doses... oh thats right, none!!!
so where in the hell is this paranoia about havin alcohol and BZP coming from?!?!?
Just cos some retarded kids in the South Island went to A&E this whole thing has blown way outta proportion... they went to A&E none of them died and one of them had 18 pills... the rest all drunk exessively.
The Government's Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs have not found any reason to ban them or make them illegal... and you just know that they would love to make any mind altering/enhancing substance other than alcojhol illegal... so keeping that in mind this conservative paranoia is fully getting out of hand.
PS- not meaning anyone on here but it is funny how a lot of people who are quite happy to take illegal drugs are pointing fingers at BZP.
heh first 20 punters to buy a drink canhave a hit on my crack pipee
