An Eye on... alcohol
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Drunken driving: A judge has ordered a drunken driver to move within half-a-mile of a liquor store or face one-and-a-half years in jail. The sentence came after Dennis Cayse was convicted of drunken driving for the 18th time. He was also sentenced to spend the first week of each of the next five years in jail.
Intolerance: A survey has revealed that 72 per cent of Britons think that it should be an offence for people to consume any alcohol at all if they are driving. The policy of zero-tolerance was even more strongly supported by drivers (79 per cent) than non-drivers (69 per cent).
Cost: According to a report by Gallup for Yorkshire Bank, a typical pub round of two pints of lager and a packet of crisps may cost pounds 56 in 30 years' time.
