Alcohol strategy watered down claim health researchers

A hard-hitting national strategy to curb the damaging impacts of alcohol has been watered down by the industry, a new report by health researchers has claimed. They say a revised draft of the strategy contains significant modifications to lessen its impact. But as ..... reports, drink companies have defended their involvement and say they've helped reduce booze consumption to a forty-year low.
