👍58% agree it may be useful
⬇️46% of alcohol consumers would makes changes

A UCL study found that 46% of UK alcohol consumers might change their drinking habits if calorie labels were introduced, supporting their potential role in public health.

If you wonder why women don't report rape, consider this. Pelicot was raped countless times by 100s of men, recorded 20,000 times. With all this documented PROOF, it's still had to go to trial, men still denied rape & there is still no guarantee they'll all be jailed.

All of them were found guilty. All of them.
