After the smoking ban was first mooted, and all kinds started to be up in arms about people smoking, i told anyone who would listen that it's all well and good getting the ban going, but, what would be next? I said it would be booze, the next thing the do gooder brigade would want stopping would be people drinking at the weekends. All of a sudden all these figures are coming out about binge drinking and "ooooh it's terrible all these people drinking so much at the weekend, it's a real drain on the NHS". It was even mentioned in the Daily Post recently that they were thinking of a smoking ban style attack on binge drinking, what do they mean? we can only drink outside the pubs?
What really pisses me off about this "drain on the NHS", is that the real drain on the NHS and the Police and Social Service don't even get mentioned, Smackheads, they are the real drain on everything, and yet what happens about stopping them? Fuck all, absolutely nothing.
BTW i no longer smoke, haven't for about 10 years, but i have been drinking booze as much as possible all my life, and all of a sudden i'm a 'binge drinker'. Go figure eh.
