  1. How’s this for an idea? Make all the sports clubs in Colac alcohol free – but of course that’s not going to happen – they make too much money from their drunken patrons.
    And lets not forget their end of season trips where they take several slabs on the bus with them and everyone is expected to get drunk out of their minds.
    A police presence outside the sports clubs is what’s needed – booking them as they get in their cars to drunkenly drive home or to the next venue.
    And look at the example they are setting for their kids – can’t go to the footy without getting drunk. Pathetic!
