I was passing the time on youtube recently, and came across the Victorian State Coalition's election campaign advert for the 1996 election see it here , and noticed that they promised "alcohol free" discos. I assume this (absurd) idea was a pathetic attempt to be seen to be doing SOMETHING about the King St nightclub precinct violence that was spiralling out of control at the time?
But this got me to thinking, did this idea of "alcohol free" discos morph into the giant rave party scene which took off in the 90s, which were alcohol free, but contained about 95% drug use of patrons?
How ironic would that be, if by trying to lower nightclub violence, you've helped create a flourishing pill popping drug scene?.....which shows no signs of abating!
