Abstract
Lord Justice Grantham giving his experience as a judge said -
"I have lately been brought face to face... with the most heart-breaking crimes it is possible to imagine- husbands murdering their wives, wives their husbands, fathers their sons, friends their own best friends- all through the maddening influence of excessive drinking. Twelfe murders, eighteen attempts at murder, and woundings without number, that were just as likely to have ended in murder, as far as the conduct of the criminal was concerned, have been mine and my brother judge's daily fare for the last four weeks in one curcuit; and IN ALMOST EVERY CASE, as appeared in evidence, DRINK WAS THE CAUSE."
This slide shows the views of the former Conservative M.P and Lord justice William Grantham on the issue of alcohol consumption within society.
