Pubs and Bar staff deal with depression, insomnia, anxiety and drugs addiction (including cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes) whilst responsible for guaranteeing the License act 2003 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/17/contents) with no support from an industry that makes billions every year.
