I'd like to learn more about this approach. Presently I'm not particularly convinced - here in Ireland, you can only buy alcohol between 11:00 and 22:00, most pubs close before midnight (unless they have a late licence, in which case they can serve until 02:30, but few places have them), and alcohol is very expensive in comparison to a lot of other European countries. And the drinking doesn't seem to have decreased as far as I can tell, but then that's anecdotal.
