![]() http://www.washtimes.com/upi-breakin....htmAlcoholics to sue drink makers
GLASGOW, Scotland, July 20 (UPI) -- A dozen alcoholics ranging in age from 18 to 60 are going to sue drink makers for not warning them about the dangers of alcohol. The suit will be filed in Edinburgh next month, marking the first case of its kind in Britain, The Sunday Times reported. In the suit, the plaintiffs will argue addiction to alcohol has ruined their lives and the alcohol industry failed to warn them of the risks involved in drinking, the newspaper said. Attorneys representing the group said they will employ tactics used by attorneys representing cancer victims in suits against tobacco companies in the United States. "Alcohol is now promoted in the same way that cigarettes were in the 1950s," attorney Jim Price said. "Manufacturers want us to believe that drinking alcohol is sexy and trendy." Alcohol labels have carried health warnings in the United States for about 10 years.
