Alcohol companies educating about binge drinking is like cigarette companies educating about the dangers of smoking. It's a nonsense and only done to make themselves look better to people who can't work that out.

They do it to make themselves look better, but if they don't, Governments/Health authorities will hound them out of business.

Its up to the individual to decide what is an acceptable risk level for them - but people need to know the risks. Banning drugs hasn't stopped people taking them.big mervyn wrote:The latest research indicates that there are no safe drinking limits and that even small to moderate amounts will impair health.

Maybe they should. Or maybe sports should dissociate themselves from alcohol sponsorship.pwrmoore wrote:Then it's time they dissociated themselves from all Rugby and a host of other sports.TMHG wrote:Who said Daigeo were the good guys?

Re: PADDY JACKSON
To all intents and purposes, none. The auld French paradox seems to be a bit of a myth and the health claims for a glass of red a day are grossly exagerrated. Having said that, I have no intention of taking the pledgeJackie Brown wrote:So how much drinking is healthy?

Re: PADDY JACKSON
As well as posting here you should be sending emails to Diagio telling them that the there will be a great reduction in the amount of Guinness consumed at rugby matches if they use their sponsorship to threaten the running of a club.
I would have thought that sponsors would want to be associated with a winning, successful club. Why, therefore would you try to prevent the club getting the best players. Is it just because the femenazis can send the sponsors lots of emails saying they will stop drinking Guinness?
Men need to get organised to counteract the femenazis
