Booze Matters - Drink Breaks
I see that Nanny, or rather one of Nanny's chums, has got on a high horse again over Nanny's pet subject of how much we drink.
This time The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has muddied Nanny's advice about what constitutes "safe drinking", by saying that the current advice by Nanny (21 units for men and 14 for women) implies that it is safe for people to have alcohol every day of the week.
Seemingly "experts" from the RCP now say that people should in fact take a "booze holiday" (no, not to Benidorm), and abstain from booze for 2-3 days a week.
Yawn!!
You can bet your bottom dollar that the "experts" do not want you to drink all your allowance in one go either:)
Anyhoo, to further add to people's misery, the "experts" also say that elderly people should drink less than the recommended daily allowance.
For why?
Because it damages them.
Surely, by the time one is in one's 70's/80's it matters not one jot if one cuts one's life expectancy by a few months by drinking, rather than living to a miserable incapacitated and boring old age?
These limits are bollocks; as every individual has a different capacity, body mass, food intake, general level of health, lifestyle etc etc.
One size does not fit all, and "experts" should stop trying to use the "one size" argument as an excuse for imposing their lifestyle views on the rest of us.

Everything in moderation.....I suspect most people can't afford to drink everyday given the level of taxes imposed on us by Nanny.
ReplyDeleteAs I have stated before; if you follow all of Nanny's diktats, you won't actually live longer but, it will bloody seem like it!
Advice like this only affects the people that keep tabs on such things.
ReplyDeletePerhaps there are a few fucking lunatics that carefully monitor their alcohol intake to ensure that they do not exceed government guidelines, but for normal people ‘research’ like this has absolutely no relevance.
So who the fuck pays for it……..and why?
It's a spin off of the socialist doctrine of equality, which has come to imply the absurd notion that all people are the same. Worse even than George Orwell thought - at least Big Brother let the proles get on with being proles.
