Britain considering ban on happy hour

So check this out. Pretty interesting read.
A health advocacy group said some of those young people were now showing signs of liver-related damage usually seen in older people.

Good post TSH. Its all a money spinner for the Gov', who will always leave things as they are until things go bad and blame consumers, then they introduce something else to subsidise lost revenue. Calculating, yeah its bad but it will generate loads, so it'l be ok, till we figure something out that will do for the next spin. £££££!!!!! Money is POWER!!!!!

Great post, Like cigarettes, our gov't will decide how bad it is for us, start putting extremely high taxes on it..but people will still find a way to buy it. If cigarettes are so bad,why aren't they illegal. Money, could be the reason?
