Drunken drivers' details replace stories on front page of weekly

WELLINGTON - A newspaper in a busy New Zealand resort town has decided to take a stand against drunken driving by filling its front page with the names, ages and alcohol readings for about 100 people convicted of the offense this year.

Queenstown's breathtaking scenery, adventure sports and skiing have made it a must-see destination for millions of tourists visiting the country, but its vibrant nightlife has also contributed to what some describe as an epidemic of drunken driving.

Convictions have fallen by one-third across New Zealand over the past five years, but they've risen in Queenstown, according to the weekly Mountain Scene, which listed details of the offenders on its cover of this week's edition.
