A person with a drink problem often tries to change the subject. Alcoholics would rather complain about stress at work or the demands of hectic socialising than think about the drinking itself. Something similar may be happening as Britain grapples with its own collective alcohol problem. Weekend figures from the World Health Organisation showed that the typical Briton now consumes the equivalent of 9.3 litres of pure alcohol a year, more than the average Russian. But rather than focus on how much is being drunk overall, the debate fixes on particular groups and particular patterns of drinking, as if these alone were the issue.
