I wonder if the H&S people are aware that many pubs take an advantage of a loophole in the Dangerous Drugs Act and openly sell drinks containing a large enough propotion of a substance of well-established toxicity that just a few drinks can result in sever intoxication? Alcohol, to give it its scientific name, is widely used by the medical profession as a disinfectant and preservative, yet anyone can simply walk in and consume as much as they like! People experiencing alcohol intoxication have frequently reported suffering from a loss of critical faculties, resulting in excessive friendliness towards total strangers, or uncontrollable euphoria which -- and this is the worst part -- frequently results in singing and/or dancing.

Somthing must be done!
