UK drinkers urged to shun booze two days a week
Drinkers should have at least two alcohol-free days each week, a committee of British MPs has recommended.
Attempting to change the culture? Good luck with that.
Gee, it worked so well in old Soviet Union...
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee also called for a review of safe drinking guidelines but ruled out any increase in drinking limits.

"Alcohol guidelines are a crucial tool for government in its effort to combat excessive and problematic drinking:" committee chair Andrew Miller said.

"Unfortunately, public understanding of how to use the guidelines and what an alcohol unit looks like is poor, although improving.

"While we urge the UK health departments to re-evaluate the guidelines more thoroughly, the evidence we received suggests that the guidelines should not be increased and that people should be advised to take at least two drink-free days a week," he said.
Yeah, that will happen in Europe and the UK. Try this in Ireland and you will have a full blown riot.
