Prohibition by Stealth: W.H.O. Pushes Tax Increases, Price Controls to Limit Alcohol Consumption
Simon Kent 22 Jun 2022
Put that drink down and step away from the bar. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) is concerned at global rates of alcohol consumption and published advice Tuesday calling for a lift in taxation rates as well as price controls to keep it out of reach.
The moves were aired as the W.H.O. prepared for a conference addressing the issue of alcohol consumption in Europe and ways to limit access through regulation, prohibition and control.
It argued, “alcohol pricing policies and taxation are among the most effective and cost–effective measures to reduce alcohol consumption and harms – but most countries of the W.H.O. European Region still do not use these valuable tools to their full potential.”
Prohibitions on alcohol supply remain a regular theme for the U.N. organization.

The W.H.O. bases its latest push for more controls on the desire to curb drinkers who have seen their favorite tipple remain (relatively) cheap as other commodity prices have risen on the back of inflation. It argues:
[i[Over the past decades, alcohol has become more affordable in the European Region because the vast majority of countries do not adjust their alcohol prices for inflation, which is making alcohol cheaper relative to other goods people are buying. One measure that could prevent this development is the introduction of a minimum price below which alcoholic beverages cannot be sold by law.[/i]

Howzabout WHO tries this in Russia first, just to see how well it works.
I wonder how well this will go over with French, Italian, and German winemakers and with German, Belgian, and Dutch brewers.
AFAIC, WHO can self-fornicate.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim,

, The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?
Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
