Why not look at why people feel the need to binge drink, not fiddle at the edges.

i think you are a so called binge drinker if you have more than three drinks in one sitting...........I never have more than three bottles of wine in one sitting so must be a responsible drinker ;D ;D ;D

It won't stop people drinking beer, lager, wine or spirits they'll just drink more of it. [smiley=beer.gif]

Yea you'll have to drink more of it to get the nice pleasant buzz which means the government make more money on the tax. It's not about caring for us it's about making money.
I don't want to have to drink a gallon of beer on a lazy sunny afternoon and spend it in the loo having a waz every five mins :-/ I like to have a few beers and relax
Yea I reckon home brew is the way forward 8-)

as a nation We drink the same amount today as we did 100 years ago. Also read an article on the Queen the other day.
She has a glass of wine with lunch, a large g&t before dinner and a martini afterwards pretty much every day. Her alcohol consumption makes her a binge drinker
