Calling Time
Enough is Enough We take the view that alcohol itself isn’t the problem - it’s our attitude to it that counts. Drinking can be an enjoyable part of our social life but not when we abuse it – harming ourselves and others. Therefore, the challenge is to change our own thinking and from that to change the culture or attitude in Wales which equates a good night out with drinking to excess. This is what needs challenging and this is why we say Enough is Enough We have reached the point when basic attitudes have to be changed across all age groups as well as young people. There is so much at stake. We believe that if individuals realised how much damage is being done to other individuals and families, as well as themselves, they would agree that Enough is Enough Apart from the health risks and other serious issues we’ve listed in this leaflet, the cost to all of us as taxpayers is huge – reducing even the money available for those on benefits - and on this basis alone we believe people should be told how much binge drinking is costing us all and taking away resources from the National Health Services. Then they might want to do something about it and be better off as a result, financially and in other ways. We encourage everyone to take this seriously, to read the facts in this leaflet, and then to join this new initiative – our call to the people of Wales to say. |
