We all know how that worked out. Alcohol is everywhere. Every time you go out to eat or a party. We can't hide from it.
Fair enough, but in this country they've banned supermarkets from displaying cigarettes because they recognise a link between what we see and what we want.

In fact, they don't advertise cigarettes anywhere in this country. I forget that that's a fairly recent thing. And a good thing - smoking's really bad for you.

Should the fact that booze is everywhere and at every party mean that no one ever points out that maybe it's an unhealthy way for an entire county to exist?
