Drinkers and Smokers Unite before it is too late!
Middle-class wine drinkers will be the focus of government plans to make drunkenness as socially unacceptable as smoking, The Times has learnt.
Under the plans published today, a fresh audit is to be conducted by the Government into the overall costs of alcohol abuse to society and the National Health Service.
“We want to target older drinkers, those that are maybe drinking one or two bottles of wine at home each evening,†a Whitehall source said. “They do not realise the damage they are doing to their health and that they risk developing liver disease. We are not talking here about the traditional wino.â€

As a traditional wino I take grave umbrage at being excluded from this new government program. We have livers too you know…

Granted the first problem is too many people rely on the government too much.
