Next thing will be they'll be pressing for plain bottles with a plain label plastered in dire warnings like cigarette packets?
Now I've never been a smoker and only have occasional alcohol but I think people should be allowed to be the author of their own fate.
OK, I didn't like being subjected to second-hand smoke but that should have been dealt with by dedicated smoking rooms not outright bans and dire warnings on packets.
As for the misuse of alcohol and excessive drinking, that also should be dealt with by properly targetting those causing the problems not by tarring everyone with the same brush?
An old criticism of some types of "we know what's best for you" legislation was to call it "The Nanny State" and it seems to be on the unwelcome increase?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
