Totally agree Polly.

He's speaking totally against what the government guidlines say, which is what most responsible parents already do, introducing a small amount at family celebrations, Xmas etc. Gets them used to a resonsible way of using alcohol.

They don't seem to have this binge drinking culture on the continent, where a small amount of wine with a meal has always been common.

A sledgehammer to crack a nut as usual, instead of homing in on the problem causers and their families, they want to legislate for everyone.

How the heck they would expect to enforce anything like that is beyond me.
