I’d also point out that the guidelines are irrelevant, what are people actually consuming in the UK?
Way to much, and i am as guilty as the next person, i enjoy a tipple or 3 but not to the point were i am non functional
Ha ha, me too. I consider myself doing well cos I’m now within the guidelines. Unfortunately they’re the old guidelines of 28 units a week, oops
not on a mission, I promise.
I’m just trying to say that what’s right isn’t always legal, and what’s legal isn’t always right.
I don’t think that anyone should get on their high horse about their particular choice of poison, or judge those with different proclivities.
The fact is that in excess, or taken too regularly most things are pretty bad for you.
As I’ve previously said, this move by the government is a cynical, headline grabbing ploy that will change little other than criminalising children.
I meant in the UK -
The graph i posted may be outdated but better to have outdated guidelines than non at all, i wonder how many canisters of laughing gas would be classed as safe to breath every day/

We appear to be going round in circles, my view still is if the ban stops kids breathing this stuff in and causing harm it'll do for me they managed to stop kids glue sniffing lets hope they can stop this trend.
Er, I was talking about my own alcohol consumption in reply to Rod
But it won’t stop anything, that’s the point
As i said below they managed to stop kids glue sniffing lets hope they can stop this trend.

Wow... I haven't even thought about people sniffing glue in decades! I remember being taught about it in those social education classes at school...
How did they stop them... Did they ban glue?

The issue that needs addressing is communities and youth centres and pay etc...

Kids will be kids. Ban NOS and they'll find something else. In my time I can remember various legal highs being used - Glue, Gas, Poppers, Magic Mushrooms. NOS will be replaced by something else.
