Mark Hicken: Too much information about alcohol consumption isn’t founded in science
Mark Hicken does not mince words. The neo-Prohibitionists have a puritanical, ideological agenda to force everyone to stop drinking — and it’s based on bad science.
Hicken is the founder and executive director of the Canadian Alliance for Responsible Drinking, or CARD, which wants to provide “sensible information on alcohol and health issues” and to encourage moderate and responsible consumption.
In other words, he’s doing what no one in the U.S. has dared to do.
