Have a Good NEWS

sake of Channel 4 on alcohol, but most of the arguments against him are false. As a drinker, I paid more than I am

A Channel 4 program will make a surprising revelation evening 21:00: Some people in the UK like to drink. According to the promotional blurb for 999: What is your emergency "With more than a quarter of adults who drink at hazardous levels, alcohol is a factor in half of all crimes and 70% of the violent crime, and costs the NHS £ 2.7 billion per year. "

you can predict with confidence that the program does not mention that beer contributes £ 5.5 billion in taxes and VAT, the cost of alcohol contributes £ 14.6 billion in total tax revenue the United Kingdom, which is not bad. The program will probably fail to note that despite the liberalization of licensing laws, which was supposed to usher in a new era of chaos for a number of reasons (economic, social and cultural), alcohol consumption UK is still rising -. Not that I know of coverage

, alcohol can be harmful. But in recent weeks we just had no end of warnings from the Alliance for Health alcohol than middle-aged people who enjoy a glass of wine to lose their health, home and their lives Commissioner suggestions parents of children who drink too much to be treated like drug addicts, and asked the Scottish Parliament to impose a minimum price of Buckfast - a policy for legal reasons is doomed

The problem is that most of the arguments against alcohol are totally false. For example, the idea that drinkers can lose up to 15 years of their life ... uh, that would be kind of scary at the end when we sit in our own mess? (Before you write -. Not once have I ever sat around in my own mess Not once).

still not convinced? Here is a comparison entirely non-partisan. Abstinent famous Osama bin Laden, Mitt Romney, Tom Cruise. Buveurs famous Winston Churchill, the great Georgie Best, the legendary DJ Pat Sharp, Francis Bacon. I know I'd rather have a pint with.
