Liverpool doctor says booze is causing dementia in young people

An article in the Liverpool Echo states that young  people in Liverpool are developing signs of dementia because they are drinking too much too young. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2010/06/17/liverpool-doctor-says-booze-is-causing-dementia-in-young-people-100252-26669052/ Dr Steve Hood, a consultant at Fazakerley Hospital, said he is seeing increasing numbers of patients in their 20s with neurological and mental disorders.

Should this surprise anyone? Stronger and cheaper beer, longer licensing hours, alcopops, shirt advertising, the UK ‘macho’ culture and lying politicians.

I like a drink. Hover around the 20 units mark per week. But it will never be my master. And thank God someone is stating the obvious: “Alcohol is far too cheap and is marketed in a very aggressive way.”

For “marketed in a very agressive way” include all kinds of pills, junk food, fags, sex, trivia, violence, ignorance and lies. And then scratch your head when problems arise and suggest warnings on ‘dangerous’  drugs like fags, which have been proven to stimulate greater addiction. http://www.news.com.au/world/cigarette-pack-warnings-make-stressed-smokers-light-up/story-e6frfl00-1225808706413

It is becoming a bit more obvious. The awakening continues.
