DRINKING WINE WITH A MEAL

Motion Text

That this House believes that drinking wine with an evening meal is a responsible way of consuming alcohol and is a good example in British drinking culture; further believes that the suggestion that offering wine with two person meal deals in shops normalises heavy drinking is wrongheaded; and urges co-operation between all parties in the alcohol debate to tackle the behaviour of the minority of the population who misuse alcohol rather than intervening in the habits of moderate consumers.
