Nanny is nagging middle-aged drinkers to have more alcohol-free days a
week in a bid to cut its related health risks.
Public Health
England (PHE) and the Drinkaware Trust, the alcohol awareness charity,
will today unveil Drink Free Days, a new joint campaign to help people
reduce the amount of alcohol they are regularly drinking.
Duncan Selbie, the chief executive of PHE is quoted by the
Guardian:
“Many of us enjoy a drink– but whether it’s a few in the pub
after work a couple of times a week, some beers on the sofa watching
the football or regular wine with our dinner – it’s all too easy to let
our drinking creep up on us.
Setting yourself a target of having more drink free days every week
is an easy way to drink less and reduce the risks to your health.”
Selbie then, without any hint of irony, said that “narking at people” about
what they may be doing wrong was futile!
"What is the point in being at some distance in people’s
lives and just telling them they are doing everything wrong? But if we
can run towards them with something they find helpful, that’s got to be a
good thing.”
Interestingly guidance issued by Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer, advises
that men and women should not drink more than 14 units of alcohol per
week, which amounts to six 175ml glasses of wine.
Errmmm...was not the advice 14 for woman and 21 for men?
I see Nanny is moving the goalposts as usual.
Now then, in the event that you follow Nanny's orders what will be the outcome?
You will live no more than 2 extra years, but feel miserable and bored!
Not worth the effort is it?
