There’s no scientific evidence but let’s advise women they shouldn’t drink any alcohol, regardless, that’s the latest advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). The NICE deputy chief executive Dr Gillian Leng said people, and in particular women, were drinking more and the NHS advisory body wanted to send a “clear message”. So what NICE actually wants is for us to drink less. I think we’re all fed up with health advice, you get the feeling they’d only be happy if we all ate just vegetables and drank only water – tap water that is. Source: The BBC.
