Alcohol has become an intrinsic part of modern-day culture and it plays a central role in most people's social lives. Heavy drinking is seen as acceptable in almost all social situations, from weddings to sports matches, funerals or baby showers. Whether we win or lose; are stressed or relaxed we have increasingly turned to alcohol.
According to our Government, which regularly benefits from increasing taxes on alcohol -
"Potential short-term effects of alcohol include hangover and alcohol poisoning, as well as falls and accidents, conflict, lowered inhibitions and risky behaviours. Long-term alcohol consumption contributes to more than 200 different types of diseases, insults and injuries".
Maybe some of those taxes can be used for a more strategic campaign to deal with the impact of alcohol?
