I drink mostly wine and vodka but am careful not to overdo it. I hate hangovers so this pretty much keeps my habit in check.
I'm not in my twenties any more but even when I was never did I drink the way the youngsters are drinking today. Binge drinking is now the norm in our city centres and it is becoming a major problem.
The NHS struggles to cope with the victims of this epidemic and the real problems will only be truly felt in another 20 years time when the more serious health problems start to appear.
The Govt struggles to come up with a plan or strategy to address this increasing problem.
So overall I think alcohol is a good thing like most things in moderation.
Yes I think underage drinking is rising steadily and no I don't think the responsibility to deal with this problem lies with Pubs.
Finally, yes my father was a heavy drinker and we all suffered due to this. those memories never fade so I will always have a healthy respect for this drug.

Wine and Vodka is a potent cocktail you should try something less potent or drink one or the other
