Rise in deaths from alcohol.
Re: Rise in deaths from alcohol.
The health fascists have already made smokers pariahs (and they haven't finished yet).
It was always inevitable that their next target was always going to be those who enjoy a drink (which let's face it is most of us - I'm not just talking about binge-drinking chavs).
All "for our own good" of course.
First it'll be "awareness campaigns", then progressively higher taxes (handy!), then advertising bans, then health warnings on bottles ....
