I'm not sure why the UK has been on the drink-bashing train over the last few years, but why not address the "eating junk food to cope" issue first. IMO it's much more prolific in the western world (increasingly in the developing world) & is a much much much newer ailment than drinking. "drink to cope" - yes we've been doing this for the last 4k years.

- mettamage 5y agoThat's a good depiction of how diabolical this addiction is. I'm happy I don't have it, but I recognize this in others. I wish I could help them. I've tried. And while I studied psychology, I'm not a psychotherapist.
