Alcohol Misuse
8:00 am
Cecilia Keaveney (Fianna Fail)
It is unbelievable that one in four deaths of young men is related to alcohol. In discussing labelling, I ask that when the legislation is forthcoming, we might talk about calorie content, which is a significant issue in people choosing products. It might sound silly but as a person who knows people who do much dieting, I know the calorie content is as important as anything else, such as the level of pure alcohol in the drink.
