Perhaps we should have a thread compiling loony anti-alcohol nonsense spouted by politicians and the medical profession.

I spotted this gem in the nether regions of the Observer on Sunday:

Even Alcohol Concern thinks she's OTT. However perhaps someone can remind me: in days of yore one had to watch which train one took on a Saturday not just to avoid football crowds but to avoid the drinks ban on the more popular match-day trains. Does the ban still exist - I seldom get long distance trains these days - or did she just have a bad time?
