According to a story in today's comic, the absurdly low government guidelines on booze and tobacco are wrong and the only sensible option is not to drink any alcohol or smoke at all.
Much too late in my case as the govt guidelines are addressed to those aged between 55 and 65. I am 12 years outside this frame and still tottering along.
Moreover I have been told firmly by the doc that it would be very bad for me to 'suddenly stop drinking alcohol altogether'. However she remained firm on smoking anything at all (as if one didn't know) so I remain a bit furtive in that area, muttering something about 'trying to cut down' on this or that.
