Or without the partisan spin, a guy who understands public health but doesn't have anything to do with Scottish politics, thinks Scotland has got this one right. I was sceptical when it was first introduced because it will make no difference to my choices or lifestyle but evidence seems to suggest it will make a longer term difference. The SNP are generally guilty of chasing short term wins. This is an unusually responsible policy that gains them little short term credit.

It's missing the point - probably deliberately because most people are bright enough to spot it - that it is designed to change the centuries old Scottish culture of binge drinking by deterring young people from getting into bad habits.

kila Posted Monday at 14:17 Share Posted Monday at 14:17 New SPFL deal with Carling to be the official beer sponsor A tinpot 'beer' to go with our tinpot league. Scottish football is full of alcohol sponsorship, which makes the police attitude to fans drinking at odds to what the fans are being brainwashed with.
