What is the concept of "normal" drinking? - During this past year, this term "new normal" has been on the lips of many politicians and in the headlines of the media. But have you taken the time to contemplate what "normal" actually is? It is different for everyone; one individual's definition of "normal" may not match another's.

The past few years have certainly demonstrated that financial influence speaks loudly. Those with money have the power to control what you hear, wear and even think. The alcohol industry is an immense business, and their primary objective is to get you to buy their products. After all why are they now pushing the sale of wines in Pint Size bottles now in supermarkets - do you really believe its for your health?
