“Alcohol, along with smoking, physical activity and food, has become increasingly important especially at the consequences of excessive use of alcohol can have on consumers, especially young people. The consumption of alcohol is strongly influenced by cultural, social, economic and political. The damage caused by alcohol, in addition to the drinker, extends to families and communities, imposes on society: it is estimated that alcohol is responsible for 9% of health spending.” Let’s have a look to these data regarding the consumption of beer, wine and between meals alcohol.

Prices at bar…

 

Nowadays, with the current financial crisis that is spreading all over the world, the price of what we consume is becoming a real problem.
Even at the bar people begins to think about the “price” of everything … one wonders how much for a pint of beer, or for a sandwich in a pub, or for a cocktail …
Guys don’t smoke cigarettes anymore, as they are becoming increasingly expensive, and even around the less “flashy” bars one begins to see someone who smokes drum.

So the crisis has affected everyone … or maybe it’s just a matter of fear spread by the media?
