Bonzo77 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We probably do but life is one long depressing march towards death so enjoy it while you can. Why live in a long boring life. Speak for yourself! Although I do agree with the 'live for now' philosophy. Have fun while your here because you're dead for a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anywebsite Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 probably, it is a poison and all. we don't need alcohol in our diets at all. This is true. Lots of people just drink to get drunk, whatever's cheapest to get them wreaked and it does wreak their health. Nothing wrong with a nice glass of wine or beer with a meal, but people don't need 8 cans of stella or a bottle of wine to themselves every day.

anywebsite Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 But a massive majority of us drink to enjoy it, responsibly. So why are the deaths from liver disease up so much? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/8336726/250000-deaths-from-alcohol-abuse-unless-Government-acts.html In France, “very strict regulation of alcohol marketing” and a market “saturated with cheap wine” led to the industry focusing on increasing quality, and so reducing deaths. Here the market is saturated with cheap low quality booze, it's not intended to taste nice, or be fun to drink, it's just to get people drunk & rot their bodies.

Bonzo77 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 So why are the deaths from liver disease up so much? Because people are drinking more, a very small minority. ---------- Post added 02-02-2014 at 11:58 ---------- Of course. Prove otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anywebsite Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why not look at what some other European countries do? Is there really any need for 3 litre bottles of white lightning? Why not have something like Reinheitsgebot, the German beer purity law & just ban all fake low quality booze? (fake as in not using the proper ingredients to produce it - using cheap apple juice or grape juice concentrates, etc). Maybe we'd be able to produce more for export if the industry was more focussed on quality. There's no need for cheap high strength 'cider' , we can't sell it abroad, it doesn't taste nice, it's just cheap & nasty stuff to wreak lives here. There's no need for minimum prices (which just gift higher profits to the industry), strength limits or increased duties, just ban using low quality ingredients. Then it avoids hurting the people who make real cider out of apples & other quality producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
