“Lucy Mcs” dropped by the Cider Facebook Page to leave a message about The Responsible Drinkers Allowance which I’ll publish here without any endorsement, as a means of perhaps gathering further opinion on the subject. In particular I’d welcome any research which can establish whether this is a genuine grassroots campaign or a front for the big manufacturers of the drinks industry.

Hi everyone,

I want to let you know about an important new organisation designed to put your voice into the debate around alcohol. The Responsible Drinkers Alliance is the first time the vast majority of responsible drinkers can have a voice in this debate.

The Government is about to make some major decisions on how we all buy and consume our drinks. There are voices calling for major restrictions and taxes. They are getting a widespread coverage in the media and vocal support amongst some politicians. The voice of the moderate drinker is being drowned out.

The Responsible Drinkers Alliance will change that by giving us a platform to make our voices heard. So come visit the site and become a member. You can join in our online debate or you can simply add your name to our community of responsible drinkers.

As they say, it’s your choice, it’s your voice, so use it!
