RETURNED SOLDIERS AND DRINK “On the of Anzac Day I saw more drunk men about than I have seen for years past,” commented Mr. F. V. Frazer, S.M., on Friday, when adjudicating at the Police Court on several drunkenness cases. His Worship remarked that personally he was not in the habit of taking a harsh or extreme view of the liquor business, but that what he had seen on Anzac Day had disgusted him. He felt sure that ninety-nine per cent of the drunk men had got drunk in the bars. It seemed to him that so long as a man could stagger to a bar, and muster up sufficient energy to hold himself in a vertical position to order a drink, he was served. The legal position was that a man who showed the slightest signs of intoxication was not to be supplied with liquor, and if hotel-keepers could not restrain their desire for profit to comply with that view of the law they were merely prompting a stricter legal prohibition. While on the subject, his Worship added that he thought it would be a good thing if the Defence authorities would put all hotels out of bounds for Maori soldiers.
