It's about time our politicians grasped the nettle and started a further legal incursion into alcohol consumption. Alcohol related illnesses are becoming a greater drain on resources than smoking related conditions. We could start controlling the amount and strength of alcoholic drink which can be sold to individuals by issuing some form of ration book. It could be like a cash card! Individuals suffering from alcohol addiction could be better treated in this way.The technology is there. In fact it could be built into the Identity Card.
I know that most of you will disagree and few will regard this suggestion as music to their ears. But this problem will have to be addressed at some point.
