It transpires that Nanny's "safe" booze target of 14 units is in fact totally made up!
Who would have thought that?
The actual safe limit is around 80, but Nanny doesn't trust us to behave responsibly so she treats us like children!

The WHO’s draft global alcohol action plan 2022-2030 urges countries to pay “appropriate attention to prevention” of consumption in certain groups, including women of childbearing age.
This is utterly ludicrous and is Nannying of the worst possible extent.
All the more so considering this comes from an organisation that fucked up its response to Covid, and gave China a free ride over its handling (and possible lab leak) of Covid!
Unsurprisingly Nanny's lockdown has driven the UK to drink.
Allegedly the number of people drinking at 'high risk' levels has doubled to almost 8.5million since February, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Needless to say, Nanny and the media are getting their collective knickers into a twist over the potential knock on effects to the national religion of the NHS which, remember, we are meant to die for to protect it!
Therefore we may expect (sadly) many lurid headlines about the negative consequences of drinking, and for Hancock and the dying embers of PHE to come up with tedious and intrusive rules (eg 10PM curfew) to cut our drinking.
Remember, if these figures really are true then this alleged rise was caused by Nanny herself!

"..the value of alcohol sales in our 280-strong segment of convenience stores in Scotland has increased by 9.9%.
The total sum of units sold has risen by 7.75%. Sales for beer are up 11.92%, as are spirits (9.1%), and wine (9.33%)."
"Real trouble is far less common. “I think high-end abuse is very rare,” says my first insider. “I haven’t encountered it personally … Most of the time it is a case of rolling my eyes and getting on with it.”All very well and good, doubtless it filled a quarter of a page of the paper, but it has put the idea into Nanny's head!

This is absurd, for a start 24 units is less than a bottle of vodka (easy to drink during the course of several hours and not at all fatal!).James Bond declared 'severe' alcoholic by public health academics https://t.co/oofG5zyqGA pic.twitter.com/gCcPAsGpYG— The Telegraph (@Telegraph) December 11, 2018
“Everybody assumed this, but nobody has demonstrated it.So there you have it folks, Nanny will not only start lecturing those who live in miserable climates to drink less (thus making us even more miserable) but also try to persuade those she determines to be "high risk" to move.
The findings show us that in order to prevent alcohol abuse, resources should be focused more in cold places. People with a genetic predisposition to alcoholism should maybe avoid living in a very cold place as they will probably drink more.”
Dramatic drop in drinking without any government intervention shows the need for government intervention, apparently. https://t.co/ZZGESZAIch— Christopher Snowdon (@cjsnowdon) September 26, 2018
“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.Selbie then, without any hint of irony, said that “narking at people” about what they may be doing wrong was futile!
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.”
"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.
