Recommended maximum alcohol intake

figures issued 20 years ago were numbers that were scientifically ............. plucked entirely out of thin air!

OK, so this is neither eco nor enviro, but it is another example of hogwash 'targets' being set without any scientific basis whatsoever, and then being used to bash the man in the street into changing his habits. See TimesOnline.

Me, I think I'll go along with the World Health Organisation figures, they look much more realistic! Anyone fancy a pint after work?
