I know it's the Daily Mail and they are usually a bit off, but I was reading this and kind of agree with Jamie Oliver. Why should binge drinkers be allowed treatment free of charge when they have messed themselves up through their own volition? I think the same could be said of smokers and lung damage too. I am not getting high and mighty because I too like to binge drink, but if I get sick then that should really come out of my own pocket (not that I ever get sick, mind).
