Opposed to booze in parks

Re. Paul Clark’s letter Doesn't like picture of beers (Castanet, June)

Regarding beer on beaches, Paul Clark claims: "Our membership poll gave it 88% support and 22% were opposed." I'm very impressed that 110% of the membership voted.

We have enough bad behaviour, impaired driving, loud parties and rescues required, without legitimizing beach booze in a hot climate where it's easy to become dehydrated, especially for visitors who aren't used to it.

(Editor's note: The result of the poll mentioned in Paul Clark's letter has been corrected by the writer to reflect the actual result - 88% in favour and 12% opposed.)
