Britain's anti-drug coordinator says his country is winning its war against drugs -- even though he seemed to have more questions than answers at a press conference Monday. While Keith Hellawell claimed the plan to reduce hard drug taking by 25 percent by 2008 is on track, he as much conceded that the scourge remains a society-wide problem. "The fastest [growing] groups of drug users are around the nightclub scene," he said. "They are achievers, employed, and with disposable income. What makes them do it?" If Britain's drug czar can't answer that question, then who can?
