Grey Town Thurs Mar 31:
Influential think tank the Coulsdon Institute of Economic and Environmental Affairs has published a report recommending that legislation should be introduced banning adults from drinking alcohol unless accompanied by children

The conclusion was drawn after a survey showing the fastest growing group of binge drinkers are affluent professionals aged 35 – 60 who like nothing better than to have a couple of pints on the way home from work and then a bottle or two of wine with dinner (and that’s just the women)

A spokesmen for the government said they welcomed the report and that ministers would study its contents as soon as they get back from the pub
