BRENDAN O’NEILL: Stop boozing after four drinks? The public health people just don’t want us to have fun. “Nothing better sums up the out-of-touchness of public health prigs than the debate about so-called binge drinking. To these teetotal, ciggie-dodging suits, for whom fun is the foulest of f-words, and who are such miserabilists that they’re made sad by the idea of happy hour, anything more than four units of booze a day for a bloke, and three for a lady, counts as binging. Four units is two pints of weak lager. Three units is a large glass of wine. Are these people for real? That’s lunch for many of us.”

A “unit” isn’t a drink.
