we'd also save a lot of money if people weren't overweight. so maybe we should be ban fatty foods and have mandatory government regulated exercise for everyone.

What about the lazy, non-respectable folk?

They're in Parliament or in 'consultancies'.

Or both.

You shouldn't post things like that in public. Someone in the government might read it and implement it

Go to an A&E on a Friday night and tell me that we wouldn't save money if people stopped drinking.

I know all about A&E on a Friday night. My GF used to run it at St Thomas's, but that doesn't make her want to recieve sermons on her drinking. She likes a bottle of wine as it goes.

I'm amazed if anyone believes that the costs of alcohol related problems exceed the revenues. Anyone would think that it isn't taxed.

Why not scrap any and all health initiatives as government 'preaching'?

It brings in about £8 billion in taxes. Government health spending in the UK costs about £75 billion. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the alcohol costs more than it brings in.
