[The Daily Telegraph] 28 oct 2008--SYDNEY Anglicans have vowed to fight binge drinking and alcohol related violence.

At a recent meeting of high-ranking church officials, the Sydney Anglican Synod passed a motion to support politicians and police in banning 24/7 alcohol outlets.

Reverend Zac Veron said it was a duty of every Christian to avoid drunkenness and "have a care as to the way their drinking affects other people".

He said opinions on alcohol ranged from moderation to abstinence.
