Alcohol Next

Many readers will be familiar with the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies, the fruity campaign group that masquerades as a scientific research institution. State-funded with a bit of cash from Big Pharma thrown in, its staff includes "Red" Gerard Hastings, Anna "Dunce" Gilmore and "Lying" Linda Bauld. It advocates loony policies such as giving films that show smoking an 18 certificate—all because tobacco is a "unique product", of course.

Or maybe not so unique. UKCTCS has only been around for five years, but soon they will become UKCTCAS. They're taking the "next logical step", you see...



 Seamless, eh? Sleep tight, drinkers. No slippery slope here.
