I just read an article about banning happy hour in England. They’re trying to cut down on binge drinking. They started with not allowing pubs to be open 24 hours a day, now they’re cutting out the time when people can traditionally get their drinks two for one or a lot cheaper than at other times. There are also pubs in Scotland refusing to let people into bars if they’ve been taking any drugs, police are actually checking customers at the door, or have any on them.

It’s good to see this kind of action going on in pubs. Especially when the guys who own bars are there to make money. They’re obviously willing to make a little less for the public good. And there will be fewer people needing alcohol rehab and detox.

Too bad the alcohol industry and Big Pharma aren’t willing to do the same. Big Pharma won’t stop at anything.

If people took a cold, hard look at Big Pharma, and realized that it has turned into an industry whose primary goal is to get people hooked on drugs so they can make money, they’d be up in arms. It’s like having a drug pusher sitting in your living room working tirelessly night and day to convince you that you need their drugs. They’re on your television programs, in your magazines, and so on.

But it all looks so innocent. So benign. Like they’re really just trying to help.

Don’t be fooled. That’s not their intention. They’re trying to make money. And they don’t care who gets hurt in the process – they’ll just take a little, tiny fraction of their profits and pay you off. No big deal.

Get out from under their spell – contact Addiction Help Services for alcohol or drug rehab.
