It is generally accepted that, as a group, doctors are the biggest "offenders" when it comes to the personal misuse of drugs and over use of alcohol. Given their latest pay increases taking a GP to £110,000pa Basic salary they clearly believe that this measure will curb OUR habits whilst not making a difference to THEIR consumption levels. Someone needs to remind them that, if people wish to drink, they will do so no matter how much it costs.
