For some reason, its news that the Navy has decided to stop selling alcohol on it’s bases between the hours of 2200 and 0600, says the Associated Press<\/a>; <\/p>\n

The Navy’s top admiral has ordered a series of changes to the way the Navy sells booze. Chief among them, the Navy will stop selling liquor at its mini marts and prohibit the sale of alcohol at any of its stores from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

“It’s not going to fix everything, but it is a real step in the right direction,” said David Jernigan, Johns Hopkins University’s director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth. “Historically, the military, as elsewhere, has viewed these problems as individual problems to be dealt with by identifying the individual with the problem. While that’s important, the research shows it’s much more effective actually to look at it as a population problem and to deal with things that are affecting everybody across the population.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, it’s really not going to fix anything. I’ll have as much money to buy liquor before 10 o’clock as I would after 10 o’clock – it means that Navy people will have to plan ahead for their drinking. <\/p>\n
