Government's top doctor recommends price hike for alcohol
article in the Sunday Telegraph
Extract:
"Chief medical officer Professor Sir Liam Donaldson will tomorrow recommend state limits on the price of alcoholic drinks, meaning that none could be sold for less than 50 pence per unit of alcohol.
The proposal, from his annual report on the state of the nation's health, will say the stark measure is necessary to tackle the scourge of binge drinking among Britain's youth, and rising levels of alcoholism among older people."
I hope this recommendation will be implemented. High alcohol intake damages health, and by impairing judgment leads also to accidents and fights.
