Alex Turnbull: Rhythm and Alps founder on their special liquor licence being approved

Rhythm and Alps has had its special liquor licence approved, despite a request from Police and Health authorities to restrict the amount of alcohol served.  People are able to buy four drinks at a time at the South Island festival, which the founder says is the status quo.   Alex Turnbull told Tim Dower that they want to treat people like adults and don't want to create angst and anger in a crowd.   He says they haven't had any issues with serving four drinks in the past and they have systems in place to manage it.   Turnbull says if police want to reduce harm, they need to educate society not restrict events, thereby causing queues.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
