Binge drinking shock

The scale of imagined binge drinking in England was revealed last night after it emerged that doctors had to write more than 150,000 prescriptions for people that had been convinced by Liam Donaldson, nurses that didn’t do sick people and cnuts like Ian Gilmore that partaking of one sherry trifle per year meant you were an alcoholic.

A record number of tax payers fell for the scam and received two particular drugs – one that treats withdrawal symptoms and another used to stop alcoholics drinking by making them vomit if they fall off the wagon.

The total of 150,445 was 12 per cent up on 2008 – and a massive 46 per cent increase on the figure for 2003, which just goes to show that if you repeat the lie often enough….

The drugs prescribed last year cost £2.38million, according to the figures from the NHS Information Centre, which isn’t really a problem considering the billions in revenue the government take in duty on booze but it does look scary doesn’t it?.

Critics (as yet un-named but we have a good idea who they are) blamed supermarkets for selling drink at discount prices and Labour’s lax licensing laws for the spiralling drugs bill, whilst forgetting to mention that they were, in fact, coining it in, big time, from all these pretend alcoholics.

Professor Ian Gilmore, president of the Royal College of Physicians, sat in his chair, stroking his cat and cackling said ‘middleclass people who drank at home thought they were safe when we started b*tching about binge drinking chavs. Little did they know that we would blame them for many of the prescriptions with out offering a shred of evidence to back this up. Bwahahahahahaha’.

‘Alcohol misuse is not just about drunk teenagers in city centres,’ he added. ‘It’s about anyone that drinks, we just used the drunken chavs as a starting point’.

‘The majority of those who actually pay my wages via tax yet continue to exceed made up recommended limits are more likely to work in office jobs, and range in age from their mid twenties to early sixties.

‘It is vital that government does not lose sight of this group, as they are a cracking source of revenue, in fact they fund the entire sh*t and shebang, but it shouldn’t exclude them from being punished.
