observer Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 With research showing that booze is responsible for high levels of cancer in the population - is it time for a ban on drinking alchohol in enclosed public spaces? Or perhaps Rod could combine no drinking zones to go with his 20mph limit?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inky pete Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 The statistics from the medics are rubbish - as usual. They're claiming that heavy drinking is "linked" (not a causative factor with a causal mechanism identified and understood, just "linked") to cancer in 1 in 10 men. Since more than 1 in 10 men are classed as heavy drinkers by the same medics with their "pull a figure out of thin air and use that as a recommendation of maximum consumption" 21 units per week limit, then these figures actually indicate that heavy drinking does not increase the risk of cancer!

Evil Sid Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 One statistic for you. 100% of all divorces are caused by marriage. Almost anything can be linked to a cause of cancer. It may be a tenuous link and the possibility may be greater than my chances of winning littlewoods pools. (do littlewoods still do a football pools? I know I don't) But prove a link and get some newspaper to publish it and you have a great little space filler when it is a slow news day.
