I didn't dare watch the Finnish Broadcasting Company's discussion on
drunkenness tonight (also, I couldn't because I don't own a TV). Did I
miss anything? Or was it all just the typical: alcohol is evil no matter
how it is enjoyed; Finns don't know how to drink sensibly and therefore
all alcohol should be banned; 1% of regular drinkers drink themselves
to death so therefore 99% of must suffer because
the only way to cut down on the drinking of that 1% is to take
everyone's rights away? Was it anything else but a propaganda discussion
designed to allow Alko to continue to do the atrocious job it is now
doing? Was there an expert on addiction even present in the studio? If
so, what did (s)he say? Anyone care to give a brief summary of what
happened?

You don´t know, what you missed. It was not a propaganda-show, it was an intensive debate between people, who want strict alcohol police and liberals.
You can watch the show here for about 30 days.

Taina, guilty of making the show
My fingers...alcohol policy. We are not so far away, that somebody suggests an alcohol policeforce...
Thanks Taina, I'll watch it on-line, then.
Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. This is a phrase that should be engraved into everyone's brain. That it isn't, is one of the main reason I cannot bear to watch Finnish discussions on alcohol policies. Or anything else political for that matter.
