I agree; I think the government are not helping the epidemic of binge drinking in this country at all - if anything they are encouraging it.

But who are they to do any different?

As with smoking, the farcical argument of "it's my choice" rings to loud for the weak cabinet ears.

No one in power dare act against the tide & prevent thousands of people's lives being wrecked by alcohol because they are scared, plain and simple. They are scared of the financial loss & petrified at the thought of vote losses - which is a worrying feat when the point of a government is to act in the best interest of the people.
