im curious as to why ..... (22)
------ This Post was removed by Moderator ------
For the same reason that they haven't banned cigarettes altogether. Money! And of course in a nation of heavy drinkers, it would be political suicide.
wobbie: all tobacco products have a health warning and something which in some ways can be worse has none ,yes alcohol .... unless im blind all it has is a "please drink responsibly" printed on it am i missing the reason why there is no warnings such as
drink can cause liver failure diabetes etc
its probably obvious and il look dumb after posting this so i need to be enlightened!

They are considering making alcohol distributers print a warning on the product. I think it boild down to the fact that tobacco IS addictive and alcohol only CAN be addictive. If you somke you will become addicted but only a small percentage of drinkers become addicted. I am not saying this is right i am just stating their excuse.

true but in a nation that is recognised as consuming large amounts of alcohol maybe its time they did put warnings on bottles etc .if only for the younger generation teens etc (probably wont make a bit of difference though)

maybe but if you look at the warnings on smokes a smoker doesnt pay attention so i doubt many drinkers would either

It take alot of drink to cause serious damage and i mean alot but it doesnt take much smoking to cause serious damage

Personally i think they should have warning labels and we should start educating kids from an early age about drugs, tobacco and alcohol. It's the Irish attitude to drinking that has to change to make a difference though and i can't see that happening for the foreseeable future.

haha i know you didnt mean that i just wanted to say that
and the warnings will only be read and ignored they could but is it really going to help?

not necessarily there was a case a while back of a young man up the north who was 18 who had chronic liver failure .so unless he was a chronic alcohic at 18 .for some people it doesnt take a lot
.i know people who get drunk on two beers and others on 22!!

Yes I heard that case he needed a liver transplant but he was refused, Did he eventually get a new liver or was he left to die?
I get drunk on a few beers too, thats why I don`t drink, some bad men willl have their wicked way with me

he was refused because he was told he had to be off beer for 6 months before he was reacessed but in the meantime whilst in hospital he got out of bed and went to the pub for a pint
not sure whether hes alive or not

maybe for younger people it might for adults like us not a chance we just peel the labels off

i havent got the stats but id say as many people die from drink as tabacco
you make a good point
less people die from heroin/ecstacy/coke than than alchohol or smoking
it just doesnt make sense ,plenty of beer companies sponsor sporting events too which is crazy
