What’s the issue? “...the concentration in England on "binge drinking" youngsters and on the antisocial or criminal consequences of heavy drinking.... has allowed politicians to project the problem onto a small minority of the population, missing the point that there are hundreds of thousands of people - the silent majority - who in their own homes are quietly opening a bottle of wine each evening and over the week are unknowingly drinking well over the recommended limits, storing up problems for the future.” Professor Sir Ian Gilmore – commenting on national alcohol policy, February 2010 http://www.smmgp.org.uk/html/newsletters/net028.php#Debate
