Source of power:
Economic
Space of power:
GAMBLING AND ALCOHOL

Quotes from participants:
~ "It’s not necessarily free drinks initiatives but there’s the deals that go along with it and the cultural aspect of... [students] saying 'oh, I can’t afford to go out' and then their mates saying, 'don’t worry about it, I’ll buy you some drinks'... that limit… is essentially removed..."
~ "...they’re buying it [alcohol] cheap in an off licence and drinking at home and then coming into town."
