From 2003 a Fine Gael Policy document ‘Action On Alcohol Abuse’.
Its opening paragraph being….
“Ireland’s attitude to alcohol has got to change. We can no longer dismiss alcohol ‘as part of who we are’. We are paying a huge price
with the health and lives of our young people. Paying through clogged up accident and emergency wards. Paying through higher
crime rates and paying through our taxes. Without proper action this situation will, without doubt, worsen.”
