Drinkers Alliance demands our voice is heard

The reason I started this blog was to give a voice (albeit a rather mouse-like one) to those who were fed up with being lectured to by do-gooders and neo-Puritans who want to see our right to enjoy booze restricted.

I mused that there may be a political movement in all of this, although my appeal for violent revolution under the banner of Glass War went unanswered by the majority of Britons.

However, some Libertarian types have succeeded in stirring something up. The Drinkers Alliance, which was re-launched today promises to give voice to the “ordinary” drinker and fight those politicians who want to take away our freedom to get Piccasoed.

My only quibble with the movement is a disclaimer on their website which warns us about the dangers of overdoing it. This is just the sort of nannying that the DA should be fighting and they should drop this mealy-mouthed get-out sop to the docs from their otherwise excellent website.

I have signed up to their campaign, perhaps you should, too.
