most people dont go out until atleast 10:30-11 pm, so if you stop selling alcohol by 12 pm... they're gunna be sitting there for the rest of the night sipping orange juice and having AN AWESOME TIME (*&*^%&#*

drinking is bad for u........after watching the dude next to my mum in the hospital almost coughing up his liver from drinking alcohol i realised how bad its affects are down the track......even if u drink in small quantities...down the track it all adds up.

Are you saying that everyone who drinks alcohol is gonna end up like this guy?

They should defanatly sell alcohol after midnight. Does anyone know what the reasoning behind this law is??

If I recall correctly, alcohol, along with cigarettes are goods of low social utility - this means they are unfavourable socially. That's why governments charge excessive amounts of excise for cigarettes, and dont sell alcohol after midnight, so as to control consumption amounts. It's a form of government intervention into the market economy

However alcohol is still sold at bars past 1am?

yes, over the counter alcohol that legally you are not allowed to consume on the street so you have to stay in the bar.
the difference with that is, in a bar your behaviour is being monitored, and after you start getting too drunk they can no longer serve you.

after 12 will mean alcohol can no longer be purchased in mass quantities, like a carton. over bars, you cant exactly order a 30 pack can you.
