"A gram of cocaine in Yorkshire costs £40 [whereas] 40 grams of alcohol costs a pound if you buy white cider at £2 for a 2 litre bottle," said Robin Davidson, a clinical psychologist and chair of the newly launched charity, Alcohol Research UK. "The price of this drug is obscenely low."Comparing the cost of a widely available LEGAL product with a widely available ILLEGAL product. That makes sense .....

That's right. You must compare apples with apples. Some clinical psychologists do a fine job and others are fucking stupid and incapable of making a rational comparison.
Some, and Robin Davidson might be one of them, believe it's their job to interfere in the lives of others because it provides them with a well-paid living, not because they are actually doing any good.
To justify this comfy existence, you have to find things to do. Young people are dying! Alcohol is too cheap! A national crisis! Something must be done!
Like the religious zealots and the ideological controllers after the, the righteous seem to be a fault in the human condition. They think that they are reasonable - they are not. They think that they are doing good - they are doing harm.
Finally, they think that they are wanted. They're right there - I want to fill gulags up with these people and do a little clinical psychology of my own.
Welcome to Room 101, Professor.
Is Alcohol Research a real charity or a fake one?
Cider - haven't had scrumpy for years. Might nip out and get some.
