If they've got to over 65 they haven't been drinking too much! If they want to drink a bit more now then leave them alone, they haven't that long left to enjoy themselves and who wants to live forever in a care home, drugged up to keep you quiet and lying in a wet bed?
'It would save 50,000 lives over a decade'. Rubbish, some of them might live a bit longer but they'd still die.
If you can go out regularly and drink in pubs/clubs until 2 or 3 in the morning until you can hardly stand up a few pence on a 'tinny' at home doesn't matter to you. It won't work, just more do-gooders telling us how to lead our lives.
