Has your paracetamol use become a drug problem?

A bottle of wine a night probably would though.
I think the government "recommendations" work out to 2 bottles a week.

Hypocrites
Blair was knocking back more than that when he was going around declaring war on anyone who thought they were hard enough to have a go.

the government recommendations are a shower of shite.
And the only large-scale meta-analysis of alcohol consumption suggests you need to be putting away about 50 units a week before it's statistically more dangerous to your health than being teetotal.

Also remember this is the same group of people who tell pregnant women not to drink at all, even when all available evidence suggests a glass or two of wine a week is quite benificial. Because they freely admit "they don't trust the populace to stop at one or two glasses" .. and think about what they then REALLY mean by "21 units"

so, y'know.

To be fair, they are right not to trust people to be able to follow the advice.
If you tell people not to drink at all, as they have done with pregnant women, most will limit themselves to one or two glasses.

While you've got a point
I'd much rather see them treat people like adults. Then those that can't behave like adults will fuck themselves up, and we'll start to slip back so some proper evolutionary strategies.

Only we won't because of modern health care
so we'll just treat the deformed offspring of these morons who in turn will have more fucked up offspring and so on. And it costs lots of money. You can't have it both ways.
