Quote of the day

****

Exposing the ludicrous story about old folk liking a tipple:

"Whilst sensible drinking is sound advice, nannies don't need the nanny state telling them what to do.

"Our own research amongst almost 1,000 over-50s shows that they tend to drink less than 10 units of alcohol a week, much less than the recommended 14 for women and 21 for men."

So says the chap from Saga demonstrating that the New Puritans are wrong again.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mr Green's first paragraph but the second paragraph is poor. Does he not realise it does not matter how much you drink, wether you are above or below the arbitrary limits is irrelevant to the rent seekers and referring to them only lends them credibility.
