The Chief Constable of North Wales, believes that one way (forward) is to place alcohol in the same category as drugs and tackle it as a danger to society. In the course of it, he notes the yawning gap between our attitudes to drugs, which are illegal, and alcohol and tobacco, which are not. In Scotland, for instance, 13,000 people died from tobacco-related use in 2004 while 2,052 died as a result of alcohol. Illegal drugs, meanwhile, accounted for only 356 deaths, yet the maximum penalty for possessing a Class A drug is 14 years in prison while supplying it carries a life term.
