I think this is an absolutely daft idea, if the staff think a person is drunk why not simply say they refuse to serve them.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

seems a bit nanny state to me, which council introduced this shite?
better off just letting the corner shops sell ganja, that would sort out the boozing prob

Anti social behaviour caused by street drinkers affects every town centre in the country to some extent and shops selling neck oil have been asked not to sell to street drinkers. When this started in dover all the small shops agreed but in practice one continued selling so they could cream off the business.

surely a better way would just be to ban the crusty old tramps from drinking in the streets in the first place

yep, of course, because if you're an alky you'll drink anyway - unless you ban alcohol it's always gonna be the case
