Sir, – Further to Paul Cullen's "Fresh light cast on our dysfunctional relationship with alcohol" (Home News, June 24th), it is difficult for young people not to drink when everywhere they turn there is the insidious advertising of alcohol. Then we have the mythology of the "hard man" and all the codology embedded in our culture. Isn't it time for everyone to take a long, hard look at their drinking habits and make an effort to cut down or stop? It's time to cop ourselves on. – Yours, etc,
