I'm most grateful to the three members who bothered to post in response to my thread, with 68 views so far.
It really makes me wonder whether it's worthwhile having a "Health Issues" section. Certainly I will think twice about spending time preparing more threads, which are of relevance both in the UK and the Philippines, but clearly not of interest to the vast majority of members. It's not as if all the facts about alcohol, nor the best solution(s) to the problems it causes, are already known! I've taken note of recent articles in the British Medical Journal, Lancet, and from the Philippines. Cheers indeed .
