Sir.-I believe that giving clubbers a lollipop to suck when leaving clubs and bars, to divert their alcoholic minds from violence, could have a detrimental effect on their health.
Firstly, can we guarantee they will actually find their mouths and not stab themselves in the eye, and, secondly, what about the long-term effect of sugar on their teeth?
A better solution would surely be to give them soft rubber dummies to suck.
