Combat the alcohol problem

I've worked out why today's politicians are so inept and self-absorbed.

The old-time politicians had real jobs dealing with real problems.

They spoke to real people on street corners and community halls.

Today's crop of pollies either work for The Party or another politician, so they are basically bureaucrats.

And to stay in their little cocoon, they employ little bureaucrats just out of kindergarten-university.

So, they come up with bright ideas like taking the colour out of cigarette packets.

Well, I have a brilliant idea for them to combat the alcohol problem.

Simple.

Take the amber colour out of beer, all colours out of wine and alco-pops.

And the cream, add fish oil to bourbon and coke.

If they can stomach drinking it, it'll be good for them.

Problem solved.
