You get drunk at an event and drive back home late night causing an accident. Now imagine this on a much larger scale.
By decent I mean, they had more clothes on than the non decent ones
If you are drunk, you tend to enjoy music even if it sucks As far as the chicks are concerned, when I attended the event, they were hot, atleast by bangalore's standard.
^ehh... maybe the sheer number of people (thousands)? Also, unlike bars or private parties, this is a public event with unlimited booze offering. The least the organizers can do is ensure the safety of people. It would be the responsible thing to do.
^By establishing police check-posts at the exits and not allowing drunk people to drive?
BTW ... is there a point to your argument?

How do they determine if someone is fit to drive ?
Have you seen this system of check posts employed at other events.
Point is simple, whether there is a risk or not as you're suggesting. I take it last time they had this gig, it was uneventful therefore why won't the same apply again.

By doing a simple alcohol test I presume? The driver is not supposed to drink, period. If you wanna get drunk anyway, take a taxi home.
They do it on New years, don't they? Then why not at a place which is openly inviting people to get drunk?
The last time they had this gig, I got dead drunk and took an auto home because none of my friends or me were in a condition to drive. As to how many accidents happened that night due to drunk driving, that I am not aware of.
Precaution is always better than cure, isn't it? I am just suggesting that unlike last time, they should tighten up the security and establish police check posts to avoid any casualties due to drunk driving. Why would you even debate that is beyond my understanding.

And on a serious note everyday ppl get drunk & drive & cause accidents, just bcoz the eventwallas provide unlimited booze does not mean u fill up ur liver/stomach all u can & then drive. If ur not with someone who does not drink & u will have to drive then its easy .. dont drink. Whats the fuss about
BTW if the main intent of the post was to show that all ppl who drink have no sensible decision making even before they drink & other ppl should ensure their safety then not everyone who drinks is an idiot, some are responsible, mature ones too. The idiot ones can always find newer ways to screw themselves. Let them be.
PS - None of this is applicable to teenagers. Most of them are idiots & yes the event organisers should screen for them & not let them near booze or in the event if possible.

Or have a designated driver that does not drink, this is a good niche for teetotalers to explore. ie How to party without compromising self values.

That's the thing, i don't recall reading anything untoward about it either. And if you know the amount of ppl that would love to make an issue about this very thing for all sorts of nefarious reasons ie cultural policing. Lots of this sort of nonsense has gone on elsewhere in the state with the present state adminstration turning a blind eye.
Therefore, I conclude that ppl were responsible enough.

Now its clear to me what you were saying. I did not understand earlier how an event organiser could do this, themselves.
Bluffmaster said:
Thing is why aren't the police doing this on their own ?
Lots of good opportunities for fines. Money talks.

Because its a grey area even with the best of intentions
How much of a hassle would guests face at the exit ?
Can you imagine the queue (you said thousands) just to get past the breathlyser :O
...this when you've just had a good time, drunk a lot and all you wanted to do was get home. But someone does not believe it and wants to test you
Where does one draw the line with such policing ?
That an event organiser should have to do this is very strange. Its like getting your guests high then telling them not to have too much of a good time or they will be busted.
When Fast & Furious released here, no. of patrol cars doubled in the neighborhood for the 12am show. And they caught a LOT of people. This is something that was very needed and they prevented a lot of accidents and people from getting hurt/killed. I guess in India it won't matter until some kid of politician dies as a victim of post-party driving then they'll pass some new laws
