Hmmmm...i think i just raised a good point. YAY ME!!!

It’s good to have a point reinforced but that point has been mentioned many times.

However there are moves afoot to put warnings on all bottles/cans of booze but only as a voluntary measure by the alcohol industry. It’s a start I guess but then some of the printing would have to be quite large for a drunk to be able to read it.

But the alcohol industry has a very powerful lobby in Parliament, which is why it is voluntary.

If this or any government were really serious about alcohol abuse it would bring in laws to ban all forms of advertising except at point of sale. It would ban sponsorship of sports too. But then the sports lobby would get to work too.

This is not the time to hold your breath.
