There is another reason for this binge drinking problem we have, people can not be bothered to act and let the government push them around. Dose not matter who is in power they will continual to push people around, people as in the voter have forgotten this fact...They work for us.
How many people make the effort to write to their MP or even see them? You got to make these MP's work for you by giving them Hell. If the voter can not be bothered to act why should any government care about them?
The drink idea is nothing more than a PA stunt just like this one today..

Food and drink companies have promised to cut calories in their products to help tackle obesity in the UK.
The 17 firms, which include Coca-Cola, Subway and Tesco, have signed up to the government scheme.
The Department of Health says England has one of Europe's highest obesity rates and that consuming too many calories is the root of the problem.

Nanny State at it again, calorie in take is one thing but it comes down to how much food your eating & how active your are. So the Nanny State wants to take over and the result? Man rushed to hospital after a heart attack bought on by being over weight, he tells the hospital the government is in charge of his weight so why should he do sod all about it then goes on to take the government to court for failing to look after him.
I'm afraid George Orwell has got it right, until the proletarians wake up nothing will change for the better.
