Had a good night last night, jolly company and a good drink, did not even notice the walk home in the snow.
Having breakfast this morning and I switch on the news, we have an NHS spokesperson telling us that the NHS is about to be crippled because of the number of people suffering “Alcohol addiction”.
Of course they quote numbers from the Ministry of Made Up Numbers to say that such Alcohol related health problems are costing the NHS £2.6billion per year.
They go on to say that the wider cost is “probably” £5.2billion.
That sums up government statistics, think of a number put the word billions on the end, then double it.
Clearly 2010 is going to more of the same, why would anyone think differently?
