‘Sticking to a quarter pint of beer a day would save thousands of lives: research
“A couple of pints or a couple of glasses of wine per day is not a healthy option,” lead author Dr Melanie Nichols said.
This level may “not be compatible with optimum protection of public health’, the research published in the journal BMJ Open found…’
How on earth did we ever survive and build whole civilizations before the advent of purse-lipped meddling assholes who somehow know better than us what’s good for us?

    They’ll have a daily ration before you know it, KG. Each person will be allowed one quarter-pint of beer per day (no carry-overs). It’s for your own good, you know!

    On a similar note, I see (HT Drudge) Bloomberg is banning sugary drinks in NYC. Multi-storey terror-training camp at Ground Zero = A-OK. Upsizing your Coke? BAD BAD BAD!!!

      I reckon none of this has a damn thing to do with the stated aims, Gantt. It’s all about screwing the control of previously free people down tighter,and habituating them to obedience.

        Of course. I mean, look around you. If the clipboard-carrying, hi-viz jacket wearing council and government Nazis had tried to implement their agenda by any means other than incrementalism, their blood would have stained the streets and their necks would have been stretched. What we’re seeing now (ever-increasing “sin taxes”, ever tighter regulation, citizen-spies etc, etc, etc) is just the latest step in the long march. The difference now is we know it. We can feel the gate of the pen shutting behind us.

          I still say that messing with a man’s beer will be the turning point in road to the second Glorious Revolution. :D

              My grandfather attended a temperance union meeting in the 1920s.

              The spruiker raised himself to a cruscendous finale:-

              “Come forward if you have an alcohol problem” he thundered.

              Grandpappy went forward.

              “My son, tell us of your problem.”

              “I can’t get enough!”

              Upon which he fled.

    Even if it was true, which it isn’t nobody lives forever, even if they eat tofu, don’t drink, don’t smoke and always wear a condom when having sex (even if it is with their hand which is the only sort of sex such people usually get).

    If you don’t drink, don’t smoke and only eat tofu you don’t live forever, it only seems that way.

    Hi Guys & Gals,

    You may or may not be interested to know that I am ignoring this crap apart from gracing it with my usual hearty dollop of sneering cynicism as I have done with so many of its many predecessors that have come and gone over the years:

    Salt consumption
    Fat consumption
    Smoking
    Fox hunting
    Sugar consumption
    Master…Ahem, mastering political correctness
    Multiculturism
    Red meat consumption
    Global warming
    Health and Safety officers (not joking, they are the human plague of our times)
    Dwarf throwing ban
    Islamonausea (now a thought crime)
    Pointing out to Vegans that we are omnivores and that animal protein is the only source of the amino acids essential for efficient human brain function (difficult one, that, they seem to find multi-syllable words difficult to get their heads around)
    The ban on publicly eating of bacon sandwiches outside of a mosque (a.k.a. a terrorist training camp)…

    …and much, much more of the endless stream of cretinous drivel that the academically sinecured, the Deconstructionists and the butterfly hoard of Civil Service parasites need to keep pumping out in order to justify their continued meaningless existance – and their heads deep in the public trough.

    Rgds, SIII. :mrgreen:

    P.S. Do feel free to add to the list as I am sure it is far from complete.

    I would prefer to drown in beer rather than listen to these know-all busy-bodies who love to tell us what not to do! I wonder what chemical mix is in their skulls which gives them to entitlement to direct the rest of us? (Clearly not alcohol!) :cheers

    When I was pregnant with my second child my doctor ordered a pint of beer a day. I complied and my daughter was healthy, happy and of good spirits. :cheers

    Now my doctor has ordered 2 glasses of red wine a day. I enjoy every bit of it.

    These assholes don’t know what they are talking about. Beer is good for you. It gives you a minimum daily allowance of bread and grains.

    So drink up, then beat the crap out of Dr Melanie Nichols. Pour a few pints (20 or 30) down her throat. She’ll be healthier for it.
