This really annoyed me today,

I realise that it is from the times, and I understand the problems of alcoholism and alcohol related illness, but this just seems to be going too far!
And because I work in a health library I had to investigate further. 2006 drinking statistics are available online

Where "middle class wine drinkers" are shown to consume about 4 units a week of wine! Hardly an epidemic!!!
