I'm glad you're not the only one who sniggers at 'come over October'.

Well as a retired health professional who has always enjoyed and collected wine I feel you are fundamentally wrong to decry the choices of a younger generation to abstain from alcohol. I disagree that the statement “there is no safe limit to alcohol“ is “meaningless “. Alcohol is a neurotoxin, fact. Toxins by nature are a poison. What we can tolerate is a matter of complexity, age, sex, body weight and base health levels all are variables.

I am old enough and fortunate enough to drink less but of better quality much of it aged in my own cellar

Let’s not lose the reality that we like taking a drug it may not be heroin but more people die from alcohol abuse than from heroin.

Drink yes, but cautiously and pleasurably
