What can we ban next?

Anybody noticed how the killjoys have moved on from smoking to drinking as their "sinful activity" of choice? Scarcely a day goes by without some report or other being waved in our faces about the perils of the demon drink. And the Scots seem to be at the head of the queue for condemnation. Apparently they drink the equivalent of 46 bottles of vodka a year - oh, come on, that's less than a bottle a week! And then they're all more or less permanently smashed on Buckfast Tonic Wine it seems - to the extent that the monks of Buckfast Abbey are being criticised for continuing their century-old tradition of making the stuff. Just lay off, folks!
