I see in the straw vote nearly 80% don't think it would make any difference. I don't think so either.

Maybe they could connect the unit to the price, much like supermarkets do with products so that it would say something like cost  75p per unit. That way we could work out how to get drunker for less.

I notice they don't give the optimum number of units for a woman to drink if a chap wants a chance to impregnate her. ::)

That "avoid alcohol if trying to conceive" bit. Does that apply to men too?

Largely depends on who it is you are trying to impregnate. The drunker I have been the more awful she has looked in the morning ..... some, I confess, I didn't actually recognise ~ which was worrying at the time.

The amount of women i see out smoking and drinking whilst pregnant is truly shocking, they don't deserve children.

If only i frequented bars with flights of stairs to push them down...

You would have thought that even the most stupid minister or civil servant would be able to spot the basic flaw in this idea?

Something along the lines of ?we?ve been putting more and more outrageous health warnings on packets of cigarettes for years and it hasn?t made the slightest difference to smokers ? how is this going to work??
