Nigel Farage calls for 'mass protest' over new alcohol guidelines
(and shockingly doesn't blame the EU or immigration for once!!! :laugh:)
http://i100.independent.co.uk/articl..._campaign=i100 I don't exactly understand what he wants to protest here.. this is a government guideline, to be taken simply as advice. You can take it or leave it. It's not a new law and you won't be punished for choosing to continue your usual drinking habits. It's health advice for gods sake, they aren't making it up.. |
If he wants to drink himself to death then nobody's stopping him
|
how come each country has a diff level?
its a load of old bollocks |

..it's almost as if Europe needs an international way of regulating laws... |
I'd have thought he'd have bigger fish to fry.
|
its only a friggin guideline, how much notice did people pay to it previously. People will continue to drink as they want, its not like the driving limit has changed .... yet
|
Oh for gods sake! Is that all this cretin is bothered about? Of all the problems facing people in the UK, having no bed, food, electric, job.. the last thing on the minds of most is what dave thinks is an acceptable alcohol intake :/
|
Its only guidelines anyway,. hes perfectly free to ignore them like most people do :p

it makes no difference its the same as smoking surely? |
If it's the same as smoking then I don't see why anyone feels it needs to be protested
|
its a health guideline, like not having more than 2 eggs a day or whatever. Its an amount calculated based on a 1% chance of dying from taking that amount.
It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to protest about it as its meant to inform people on how to live healthily, nothing more. Farage has clearly lost the plot. |

Farage is spot on, enough of the do gooders arguing for these stupid limits trying to make the majority of the population feel guilty about their drink intake. It's as bad as the calls for the lower drink driving limit or the self-righteous dry January plebs who are killing an industry that is very important to this country.

Yeah, bloody health professionals, doing their jobs :fist:

There should be a 0 limit for driving, IMO. I don't think this makes me self-righteous :umm2: |

Why do people feel the need to drink ANYTHING when they are driving anyway? And how will this drive the pub business into the ground..smoking ban already did that, nothing else will hit them anywhere near as bad as that did :bored: |
