Charge drunks for hospital care

AFTER learning that nursing staff could lose their jobs due to funding, here is a suggestion. To help the NHS, charge drinkers £200-250 for hospital treatment and transport.

If they can afford to drink/take drugs, make them pay. Knowing it could cost them may make them cut down on binge drinking.
