How very tedious to see that Nanny's obsession about how much we drink has yet again bubbled to the surface.
According to "research" carried out in a pub one night, by Nanny's Department of Health, people are seemingly underestimating their consumption of booze by up to 40%.
Yaaaawnnnnn...so farking what!
I had a business meeting yesterday, that lasted five hours, during which we quaffed significant quantities of malt whisky etc. I didn't bloody count how many measures I had, because I know when I have had enough and don't need to be told by Nanny.
Booze is part of our social and business culture, to tamper with our boozing habits is to tamper with our culture!
Anyhoo, medical "experts" are of the view that these "shocking" statistics mean that Nanny's warnings
about the dangers of excessive drinking are not being listened to.
Shock horror probe!
If anyone is in the slightest bit interested, Nanny is of the view that men should not regularly drink more 3-4 units of alcohol a day – equivalent to a pint and a half of beer – and 2-3 units of alcohol for women, the same as a 175ml glass of wine.
Well, like it or not one size does not fit all!
We are all different and respond/react to food, booze, fags, drugs in different ways.
Anyhoo, despite the fact the evidence clearly shows that we are not listening to Nanny's tedious warnings, Nanny has recently launched yet another tedious advertising campaign on the TV telling us to stop drinking so much.
Ugh!
Earlier in this article I stated:
Yes.
However, how many people did Nanny really use in her research to base her findings on?
100,000?
No!
10,000?
No!
1,000?
No!
100?
No!
Nanny used a sample size of 19 people!
Snort!

Lies, damned lies and no statistical significance. Truly amazing. Alcohol consumption per capita in the UK is falling and has been since 2004. So why the hoo hah?
ReplyDeleteNanny seems a bit tense.....Have a beer and try to relax.
ReplyDeleteWell, tobacco consumption had been falling for years when tobacco control told The Whopper that passive smoking was sooo dangerous that we smokers had to be kicked out of every indoor 'public' space in the country. The motivation? Follow the money. The 'research' on which the case was built was bollocks as is the research for every measure they want to bring in (I think they interviewed several teenagers to create the case for plain packaging of fags). The fake alcohol charities have simply lifted wholesale the tobacco control template (as we smokers who'd been following TC's activities said they would, as in, "it's your turn next"). They've already redefined a unit of alcohol (a bottle of wine used to contain six units, it changed suddenly one January (2010, I think) to 10 units. They talk at the moment of the need to have two alcohol-free days a week, that will morph into two days as a safe level of drinking - if you drink only one unit. It will get to the stage that if you have a small glass of sherry each evening you'll be classed as a problem drinker (and I'm not being facetious). Are there already verbal warnings on booze? In time they'll demand (photoshopped) images of diseased livers and if you're not teetotal they'll refuse you medical treatment. I've no doubt that even now, a drink at lunchtime would be a dismissable offence in some organisations (irrespective of the job you do). Can't wait for passive drinking (after all, on exhalation of alcoholic breath contains more catcigonens than exhaled tobacco smoke!).
