It's not a small thing, However i didn't think people would use alcohol as a decider to kill someone..
However premixed drinks are up etc everyone knows this..
Also a new thing is 4 drinks in 2 hours i believe it is means your binge drinking..
This is nothing new, The poms do it, The yanks do it..
4 pints and your a binge drinking in pom land. 3 wines for the lady's and binge drinking.
On another forum the world is coming to an end!.. Rudd has been targeted for death!, He is Judas!.
Comeone is it really that ****en bad?.
Now rudd is toast for this new 4 drinks and your binge drinking, Liberals are going to town over this, But in just a few clicks with my fingers i found this...
As you can see Rudd said it..Australian Medical Association released new guidelines defining binge drinking as four standard drinks a night.
Now it brings me back to something, Is a tax on alcohol or tobacco bad for a government too do?, And should it make your next election decision are people just shallow?.
People and the opposition stated that tax rise on alcopops was for money, However in first weeks of the test it dropped, Whilst others did rise the overall consumption dropped and it wasn't small..
This is it seems to have become the biggest talk on the internet..
Mind you i think there are more pressing issues such as Food prices which are something like 20% above world inflation prices we have the most expensive food in the developed world and it's by 10-20%.
Then fuel prices..
Rent prices..
Mortgages..
Intrest rates..
I'm really disappointed with the liberal party right now.. There biggest come back to us in opposition is too block these taxes, It's not because it's the right thing, It's because it's the popular thing..
Same with the 5c cut on fuel popular but hopeless.. And then the tax on tax GST removing off the petrol was berated by the liberal party..
Then the soalar panel rebate, They had a great chance to hit the government on something that was a bloody stupid thing to remove considering we want cleaner power, And what do they do?? Get a kid make it look so bloody woody like a horror show...
That family must be the most used family by our pollys it's shocking.
But back to alcohol I'm shocked a doctor who would tell you too stop smoking and stop drinking is in favour of allowing a measure that so far seems to have reduced alcohol bought that he would be against this?.
I don't drink but is there something else worth moaning about?.. Some well more like 70% of forums take it like you removed there family's from them..
A few quotes..
So, it seems that Mr kRudd has redefined binge drinkers as anyone who drinks more than 4 drinks in a session, so, i go to the pub with a mate for an arvo, im there for 6 hours, chattin bout racing, girls, cars, fishing, blokey stuff in general, i have say 5 drinks, i would barely blow anything on a breatho, i could drive home, and i would be about $15 poorer. But.... I would also be a Binge drinker? What the ****????? How does that work, that is crap, what is it with kRudd, just coz he is a skirt, and obviously cant handle his liquor, shouldnt mean that he makes everyone else feel guilty coz we can, he just wants every one else to drink less so that he dont feel as bad that he cant drink? Well, thats my theory, and i like it, but cmon mate, it seems that the good ol aussie ways are dying, ppl dont say G'day anymore, ppl dont drink beer anymore, too many people are afraid of work, mates dont help mates, a box of cans is no longer considered as curency, this country is becoming a sad place, what yas all think?I'll tell you why Krudd is doing this. Now that the term 'Binge drinker' has a new formal definition, in 2 years time when there is a survey, people will be saying "Yeah I have about 4 or 5 drinks with mates on a Friday after work". Those people will then be considered binge drinkers. Therfore the statistics for the number of binge drinkers will sky rocket like never before (even though in reality not much changes).
As a result Krudd will then anounce that there is a "Binge drinking epidemic". That will be used as an excuse to hike up the tax on all alcohol sales to pay for his B.S policies. Also it will, and is, being used as a smoke screen to deflect attention away from their promises to keep a hold on inflation, keep grocery prices in check, keep petrol prices low etc.
I wonder how many standard drinks Krudd had when he was wasted at the New York strip club. OMG! Our PM is also a binge drinkerKRudd is just a ****ing hypocritical maniac being hell bent on ****ing this country royally.
Apparently my grandmothers and grandfather are binge drinkers, they all enjoy a few sippers of port of an afternoon while watching the football.
Kruddy, keep ****ing this country up its arsehole...soon the retards will realise why it was a bad move to vote you in.BY Krudds logic. Im a binge drinker.
When i used to do Manufactoring we used to all have either a f ew beers after work together in the lunch room or the pub down the road or i would stop by the bottle o and pick up a 6 pack and sip on that for the night.
Even now i got a barfridge and thats usually stocked with a few beers, which i have of a evening.
I dont think theres anything wrong with that, i dont feel drunk at all its just a casual drink. However according to Krudd im binge drinking and therefore should be looked down upon.
