Cross posted rubbish Joe, this appeared posted onto that drugs.uk group - stirring up the original cross poster. It brought a smile to my face....... (As Copied) Number! Numbers! Numbers! I too can make up any set of numbers to prove any theory I wish. In my 40 years of working, I have never experienced intoxication at work - but then again, I have never worked in England. In my workplace, we are proud of a virtual accident-free record stretching 10 years. Again I say "numbers!" - 25% of zero is still zero - why not say that 100% of work related accidents are attributable to alcohol! I am not worried in the slightest - it is you who has a "booze problem" - your words! I have for all of my adult life enjoyed 1-2 glbuttes of wine with my evening meal or weekend lunch. Neither myself or my friends and buttociates ever get "boozed" - again believe that this is more an English (or Australian) phenominon. Garbage - alcohol never end anyone - the abnormal consumption of alcohol is the person. Again, an English problem - you have historically had an unhealthy track record, probably caused by some sort of genetic defficiency, in buttociation with all alcoholic beverages - who knows, one day in the far, far future things may change - but I won't hold my breath. English people generally drink to excess, just to get peeed - we Europeans drink as part of the meal. See - an English academic - painting the world (EU) with a brush dipped in English culture. Alcohol DOES NOT cause addiction - it is the unhealthy consumption which may cause problems - but only in those predisposed to alcohol addiction. Go enjoy your "booze" - get peeed! Urinate in the streets! Bash up a couple of strangers! But stop attacking the great majority of us who traditionally have consumed wine with meals by judging them against your own "booze culture" You are the one(s) with a problem! As I said, it is probably genetic, and perhaps by continuing to kill each other at the rate of 25,000 per year, the final solution is in your own hands. -- RA
