A business worth 26 billion,
Advertisers promote a life of addiction.
What price human life in the face of profit,
And donations to pigs and politics?
It decimates the NHS,
Involved in nearly all road d**hs.
33 thousand d**hs every year,
Or scarred for life by acting beer.
H, E and C equals less fatalities.
Misery hours in every bar,
But still no need for a booze czar.
Original gravity.
It's chronic and progressive,
Consumption becomes excessive.
Direct toxic effect: brain damage and early d**h.
Digestive disorders,
Liver cirrhosis and ulcers.
Nervous system never mends,
Horrific withdrawal: Delirium Tremens.
