Cool Re: Boozers beware -you are next

Having established a precedent with the anti smoking campaign the government is now going down the same road with booze.
First warnings about alcohol on bottles and cans.
Now a suggestion to increase the tax on booze.
Next step ban advertising except at point of sale.
Wasn’t there something about increasing the age for buying booze and drinking in a pub?
What about ration cards limiting booze to the recommended weekly levels? Is that a possibility?
Returning to the previous pub opening times?

Who is going to be first to suggest that as drink related illness and injuries cost the NHS a small fortune and that anyone with such an illness or injury should pay for their treatment.

Those drinkers who supported the anti-smoking campaign will live to rue their actions.
