Turning The Screw

Boy, the anti-drink lobby moves fast!

Sixty per cent of UK adults think drinks packaging should have health warnings, similar to cigarette packets, according to a survey.
Judging by recent righteous scaremongering, this can't be too far away.

The worrying aspect of the aforementioned survey is that it illustrates the effectiveness of state-funded indoctrination and exaggeration. Even with the precedent of the assault on tobacco to refer to (that started with health warnings too), large sections of the public are still willing to participate in their own demonisation.

Mandatory health warnings won't be the end of the matter as far as the puritans are concerned. Far from it.
