Don’t BELIEVE the hype – committee finds ads don’t increase drink abuse

CARLSBERG doesn’t give evidence to Dáil committees ... but if they did, it would probably be the best evidence in the world.

Guinness and several other drinks companies would have us BELIEVE that their advertising campaigns and slogans don’t increase alcohol consumption.

At least that’s what they told the Oireachtas Health Committee yesterday. Members of the committee yesterday rejected the claims by the drinks industry.
