INDEX

January

Falling off a Cliff - the risks of exceeding the official alcohol guidelines are too often greatly exaggerated
Never Too Late to Stop - giving up drink may not help you live to 100, but it will certainly feel like it

February

When is a Beer not a Beer? - to claim that well-known IPAs are not true to style is unenlightened pedantry
Brass in Pocket - only in the distorted world of anti-drink campaigners are children buying alcohol from their pocket money

March

Tipping Point Approaches? - can anything be done about the remorseless increase in off-trade beer sales relative to the on-trade?

April

Prohibition by Price - minimum alcohol pricing is a thoroughly bad idea that should not be entertained for a second by anyone concerned for the pub and brewing industries

May

Measuring Up - drinkers are now left on their own if they want a full pint
Reservations about Reservations - reserving tables for diners is something that should have no place in a public house
