Good job they just invented [this gel](https://www.bionity.com/en/news/1183450/new-gel-breaks-down-alcohol-in-the-body.html)
Does this cost factor in the money generated from tax on alcohol, and the money saved on pensions from drinkers dying early?
It’s pretty much the tabaco argument from Yes Prime Minister.
Naltrexone is cheap, it basically cured my alcohol use disorder.
I used it via The Sinclair Method and it was a game changer.
Don’t let medics fob you off with the 12 steps. AA is helpful but there are other options. Medically assisted recovery is a well established, go private if you have to…wroth every penny.
What about marijuana harm, how much does that cost?
I’m not sure what people get out of absolutely kicking the arse out of it on a Friday night. I understand drinking as a form of social lubrication to lower inhibitions and get people going, but continuing to drink after that point doesn’t exactly make things any better, if anything it makes them worse.
**Nobody** wants to spend 24-hours in A&E because they thought they could ride a wheelie bin down a hill during a night out and cracked their head on the pavement.
Can’t wait for the ban it brigade to save us from some societal ills once again. Plenty of them clutching their purses on Reddit.
Oh look the pick me squad are coming back out to tell us how to live again reminds me of those business men who complain no one wants to work while ignoring all cv applicants 🤣 this fucking country
They need to increase the tax, the cost needs to be covered by drinkers
You will work, pay taxes, pay off your landlord’s mortgage, and derive no pleasure from life. You won’t drink, smoke, drive a car, go on holiday, eat junk food. Those are all bad things. You will drink water and eat lentils until you die at 95 after taking up space in a care home for 20 years.
