This is not limited to the British. We all know that prohibition doesn't work, and people are going to do something of the sort.
You could make pot legal but that's trading one thing for another although, unless you do both at once, which of course people do, it is a little less dangerous. It's hard to get into too much trouble when ordering the pizza is hard to do, and the thing most on your mind.
On the other hand, I have a theory that modern medicine could come to the rescue if they would. I propose government sponsored drug dens as it were. I have no doubt that doctors are sitting on drugs that would make it possible to open an ideal establishment but that they would consider it less than moral, even though their non action is even less moral when you consider traffic deaths and all.
What I mean is, you go to the establishment, pay a fee (heavily taxed of course), sit comfortably with your friends in a nice, clean, interesting place, they pump you full of fabulous drugs, you laugh your asses off for a couple of hours, then to get out the door, they administer an antidote and you aren't allowed to leave until you are quite over it, and safe to go about your life. You know they have these drugs if you've had any "procedures" done recently.
Everyone wins.

With regards to the governments THINK campaign, i'm not sure demonising drinking itself is the correct approach.. does this ad reinforce the social stigma around drink-driving? ..i dunno.
