This is to follow up on my previous question about binge drinking. I'd like people to reveal the values and attitudes behind their drinking. For instance, some frankly admit that they regularly consume a great deal of alcohol, but they don't see anything wrong with that.
I see a great deal of harm in my own family, and government statistics show the same in the wider community, across all age groups, NOT just youngsters. I think it's hypocritical to pick on the young when the older generations booze so much.
I'm NOT a wowser: I enjoy alcohol as much as anyone, but I think there is a lack of balance in Australian social attitudes to drinking.
