According to the Daily Mail, ahead of the Euro Cup, German police have issued a warning to English fans, encouraging them to take drugs instead of drinking alcohol as it could make them “more calm” and “relaxed”. Since April 1st, drug use has been legalized in Germany. “If we see a group drinking and looking a bit aggressive, and another group on drugs, of course we will focus on the drinkers,” said a police representative. “Alcohol can make people more aggressive, while drugs tend to have a calming effect.” “Our priority is to prevent violence and ensure people’s safety.” “We will be focusing on those fans who drink and may become violent – that’s why we are taking safety precautions regarding alcohol consumption.” Fans have commented that the law prohibits smoking near playgrounds or schools, so Bavaria has built more playgrounds.
