I knew it!

A US study has shown that anti-binge drinking ads may actually provoke exactly the kind of liver-bashing behaviour they're trying to prevent.
I always resent being told what to do. If someone says "don't go to that pub" or "you know, you really should eat less red meat" it just makes me want to do it more... And it's even worse when the government do it - they're taking my money by force and using it to tell me how I should behave? That's just not going to work.

The article linked here proves that the government should leave us to do as we please - but what are the chances they'll actually listen?
