doubtful. look at the cancer warning on packs of cigarettes. it's there, people read it, but they smoke anyway. same concept.
I think so, you don't really consider it but if its staring you in the face i suppose it might slow me down a bit and make me think
Of alcohol????
Hell no.
And I don't drink anything else but water.
No, I'm very good at deciding how much I'm going to drink and knowing when to stop
Depends how much I'd drunk before I read it
nope
NO
I have a problem your more than likely bigger and fatter than I.
that meter that says .02
sorry your .02 is x5 of my .02

Not really. I think this government is blowing this whole health and alcoholism out of preportion. I think it should be up to the individual to decide and regulate their own alcohol intake.
Nobody can give or force control on you. If you have a problem with anything. You and only you can decide if and when you want to change. All the regulation in the world, short of being put where you can get it, won't work. That will only work while your lockup.
If you're talking about alcohol, no it probably wouldn't make me drink less than I do now. But it would be helpful to know how much will get me drunk or how much I can drink before I get alcohol poisoning...cuz that's no fun at all.
I think a lot of people might be quite surprised how many units they are drinking if this does happen - I know that when All Bar One put similar info on their wine lists, it was horrifying to see that just one large (250ml) glass of some of the stronger wines - 13.5% or so (and it is scary how strong some of the wines now are without tasting of it) was over 3 units - so you can think you are being virtuous by only having one glass, and yet are above the recommended daily allowance even for a man, let alone a woman.
I see no harm in giving people the information - we are all adults and can then choose what we wish to do with it - but to work, it has to be clearly visible in pubs and restaurants too, as that is where most oof us probably do our excessive drinking. However, if they do give us this sort of information, it seems to me the most helpful way is the way that some supermarkets have already adopted, which is to put the number of units per measure, and then the overall units in the bottle.
If your talking about alcohol, then yes.

I am wary of anything above 4% so it is a good idea.
