Glorification of Alcohol Abuse in the UK
Don't know about the US but over here some TV channels are being totally irresponsible by screening such programs as 'Booze Britain' which glorify the complete abuse of alcohol by young people.
I am normally against regulation of what people are allowed to watch having the opinion that if you don't like a program there is always the off button but on these shows there is no mention of the long term effects of alcohol abuse only the images of young men and women drinking themselves senseless in as short a time as possible.
Just as with smoking the UK Govt couldn't really give a XXXX as the tax revenue is just too fat a cheque to turn down. And they wonder why the alcohol related deathrate has doubled in 10 years !!!! Give it another 10 and there will be an epidemic.
It's enough to drive you to ... another cup of tea
