WINE bottles will have to carry large and graphic health warnings similar to cigarette packs if proposals from public health lobbyists get the go-ahead.
David Swaddle's insight:
Is drinking the new smoking? It seems that Aussie authorities think so.
Moves are being considered to put graphic health warnings on wine to try and stave off "problem" drinking.
No Nanny State, no! A few graphic pictures aren't going to scare off people who simply want to get wrecked. I haven’t seen any evidence that this approach had any effect on smokers.
Whatever next. Will booze follow cigarettes and be banned from pubs too?
