Alcoholism
Sir, —Has it become wrong for age to give the benefit of its experience to youth? We read of the Government recognising alcoholism as a disease. We also read of provision for doctors to treat it in hospitals. Yet nowhere do we see any advice to youth,to limit its drinking, so as to avoid ever becoming a slave to alcohol. Personally. I prefer total abstinence, both for health and pleasure. Surely it is in youth that the foundations are laid of our lifetime habits. Some authoritative public advice to young people is surely due—either at Government level or doctor level —to help prevent this wretched human wastage of God-given powers.—Yours, etc-, F.T.M. May 4, 1957.
