Booze lectures 'don't work'

摘要

Teaching soldiers about the dangers of alcohol is a waste of time, a military health expert has said. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, former Royal Navy surgeon Prof Neil Greenberg of the Royal College of Psychiatrists claimed that the Army's efforts to educate personnel with briefings was "ineffective" in getting them to stop binge drinking. It follows findings from the Commons defence select committee which said the government's strategy has not made any noticeable impact on high levels of excessive drinking in the Armed Forces.
