Whilst the economy go's to hell, Labour's best is smaller wine glasses.

Pubs must offer smaller glasses, the latest silly rule from the fag end  government of fat PM Gordon Brown(left)...Pubs will be forced to sell wine in smaller glasses as part of a Government crackdown on binge drinking.

All drinkers will be able to order wine in 125ml glasses and ministers hope it will stop women from unintentionally exceeding safe drinking levels.

The amount of alcohol women drink is soaring. Experts blame the trend for pubs and bars to sell wine in larger glasses.

A standard glass of wine used to be 125ml - around one unit of alcohol. But most pubs now serve wine in a 'small' 175ml glass or a 'large' 250ml glass - as much as a third of a bottle of wine.

One in ten bars use 250ml as their standard size. With strong wine the glass can contain 3.5 units of alcohol - enough to put a woman over the driving limit and the recommended daily allowance of two to three units.

Ministers are drawing up a mandatory code of practice, to be released next month, which is expected to say that any venue serving alcohol must offer customers a choice of the size of drink they order.

Bars and pubs would still be able to offer 175ml and 250ml measures.

Forty-three per cent of middle class professionals admit they exceed safe alcohol guidelines every week, according to official figures.

So lets see with 6 pubs closing a day, this is the best New Labour can offer the nation? Even more costs for the publican to take, all based on units that were plucked out of the air!

Guidelines on safe alcohol consumption limits that have shaped health policy in Britain for 20 years were “plucked out of the air” as an “intelligent guess”.

The Times reveals today that the recommended weekly drinking limits of 21 units of alcohol for men and 14 for women, first introduced in 1987 and still in use today, had no firm scientific basis whatsoever.

Subsequent studies found evidence which suggested that the safety limits should be raised, but they were ignored by a succession of health ministers.

Bless em' they love nannying, you can bet that this regulation has the grubby fingerprints of that illiberal small minded fucknut Prof Ian Gilmore.(He is the scrotal sack with the glasses by the way.)

Still he is just part of the problem, as regulation is also called for by the state Quango industry of fake charities, that is funded by the state - in short extorted from you by tax:

This from a government that talks of nazi style health mentors.

No doubt he agrees with cuntmonkey Sir Liam Donaldson who wants minimum pricing.

MP's sign EDM's whilst pub trade crashes.

Where fag packs must be sold in plain packaging.

Where the fiscal arseraping has closed 2000+ pubs.

Where the chancellor can not split duties as the EU controls our taxes.

And 70% oppose higher duties.

Some fake charities include:

Alcohol Concern—an anti-drinking lobby group that receives less than 1% of its income from public donations

Alcohol Focus Scotland—no strangers to a hand-out

Alliance House Foundation—a well established temperance group founded in 1853. It funds the Institute for Alcohol Studies.

Institute of Alcohol Studies—the research wing of the modern temperance movement. Funded by the Alliance House Foundation and the European Commission.

So called Quango's/Charities designed to parrot HM Govt reports.
