Enough, enough ... "one drink a week can cause you cancer" For God's sake - we are not immortal, we will die of something sometime - whether we like it or not.
Now I am not advocating taking up smoking again, or shoving junk food into everyone (those a BIG killers) but a lot of these health warnings are marginal (remember the true statistical cliche that "correlation does not necessarily equal causation") and frankly they impact in a political way far far more than they deserve.
I wish that a lot of these health paranoids will basically just bugger off and let us live our lives in a sensible way without having us having some bloody Dr Big Brother criticising us for every action we take.
There is a punch line to a joke that I always liked:
A doctor tells a man to give up drink, television, women etc etc ..
"Will I live longer? No, just will seem like it ...."

I'm firmly convinced that it's actually the studies themselves that are carcinogenic!
