Fair enough BG, alcohol is however taxed, and quite heavily too.
I'm all for choice, which I why I follow the Albion despite working in Liverpool and living in Manchester for most of my life.
I've never tasted booze, but it's a long and unpleasant story why.
If it didn't cost me anything then I might go along with what you say.
However 10% of the total NHS cost now goes on diabetes costs, and diabetes is preventable by reducing sugar intake.
It's therefore in everyone's interest to cut down on sugar consumption, how best that should be addressed...
