What’s the issue?

“...the concentration in England on "binge drinking" youngsters and on the antisocial or criminal consequences of heavy drinking....

has allowed politicians to project the problem onto a small minority of the population,

missing the point that there are hundreds of thousands of people - the silent majority -

who in their own homes are quietly opening a bottle of wine each evening and over the

week are unknowingly drinking well over the recommended limits, storing up problems for

the future.”
