A recent study has shown that alcohol related crime (a rather biased statistic, since it includes anyone involved in the crime, even the victims) are going down. However, the media are full of stories about booze-fuelled, mutant "hoodies" ravaging bleak city-scapes, in search of more random strangers to assault. Why would the media lie to us? (Don't answer that, it was rhetorical - most journalists that I've met have soaked up more booze in a morning than a seventy-year-old pub carpet, and would happily sell their children as cat-food for a picture of a princesses pubes).
This story might open your eyes to the media lies...
