THE Chief Medical Officer said the number of people with cirrhosis of the liver has risen 50 per cent -- official figures show due to alcohol abuse.
Yet, for a while, the Government have been advocating putting drinking time in line with the Continent.
How contradictory can you get?
The local council hailed the news as a significant step.
The Licensing Minister has said pubs and clubs can open for 36 hours.
She said this is good news for consumers and the industry. It will be good news for the breweries, with the price of it.
I know people can't drink for 36 hours, but some of them will try. It will cause more drunkenness.
I am sure the powers-that-be don't know what they are talking about. They talk in riddles.
