It is evidence based .......
You see, this is the trouble with these bloody doctors. They seem to get "evidence" mixed up with "opinion."

I don't think anyone will argue about the hazardous effects of drinking too much.

But the current "guidelines" (21 units for men, 14 units for women), were actually scribbled on the back of a pack of fags! (Or, in the case of the Royal College of Physicians, it was more likely a packet of ready rub ).

Ask the authors, they'll readily admit it.

good health, ginge
