A cause for concern?

We'd like to highlight pressure group masquerading as agency "Alcohol Concern".

Yesterday they were in the news because of their proposals that parents who allow their children to drink small amounts of alcohol be criminalised. This has been reacted to with derision in many quarters, as it goes against the evidence of the continental model where there are fewer alcohol problems, and yet young people drinking is a normal part of life.

Surely children who are brought up to appreciate beer or wine are less likely to want to drink the sort of alcopops that are designed to make the consumption of alcohol as easy as possible?
