Health chiefs attacked over 'nanny state' alcohol guide
By Laura Donnelly, Health Editor

Chief Medical Officer accused of “scaremongering” in advice about light and moderate consumption

LONDON: -- Moderate drinking is no more dangerous than driving, health chiefs have admitted – as they came under fire over “nanny state” guidance which says one glass of wine raises the risk of cancer.

New advice from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) slashes recommended drinking limits for men in line with those for women, and says that there is no safe level of alcohol at all.

The official guidance says that if people do drink, the maximum amount they should consume is 14 units a week – a sharp reduction from the 21 unit previously set for men.

I'd love to have heard what Churchill would have said to such advice.
