Great Britain is concerned that alcohol related crime is costing the economy about $22 billion per year, prompting the following datelined London: Londoners who commit alcohol related crimes repeatedly will be forced to wear "ankle tags" that monitor their drinking by recording levels of alcohol in their "sweat" every half hour. The "sobriety tags" will send an alert to the offender's probation officer with dire results forthcoming. Article goes on to state that Britons age 15 and older drank an average of 2.5 gallons of alcohol per person last year - although not at one sitting. One presumes they were Imperial gallons. Is there any doubt that Big Brother is watching us - along with our parole officers, probation officers, ABC, Treasury Alcohol Tax men, IRS, et al?
