Letter: No aspect of life is totally safe, including alcohol

Published 24 July 2024

From James Birdwood, Shipton Moyne, Gloucestershire, UK

I take issue with Dan Roach’s assertion that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption. You could equally make the case that there is no safe level of driving or playing football or swimming. Perhaps there is no safe level of being alive, given it always seems to end badly (Letters, 6 July).
