Globalist World Health Organization Says Boozy Europe Is Making Alcohol Cheaper, and Putting Lives at Risk – So, Their Solution Is: TAXES!
The old – and drunk – continent.
Europe has a drinking habit – or is it a problem?
Those of us well informed by the independent media are not inclined to listen to the World Health Organization’s advice any longer – if we ever did.
The WHO campaigners are out in force saying Europe’s hard drinking habits ‘are putting lives at risk’.
The crux of the UN agency’ ‘warning’ is that, instead of ‘making alcohol harder to afford’, what many European governments are doing is allowing a lowering of the prices.
Politico reported:
“Beer has become more affordable in 11 EU countries since 2022, and less affordable in six, the WHO report revealed Tuesday. There was a similar but even more dramatic trend for spirits, which became more affordable in 17 EU countries and less affordable in two. And for wine, 14 EU countries do not tax it at all, including big producers Italy and Spain, the report found.”
Oh, no – beer is cheaper! It must be the end of the world.
So, the detestable Tedros Ghebreyesus has the nerve to share his ‘brilliant idea’: TAXES.
WHO Director-General @DrTedros explains how health taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks can help countries protect lives while funding health, education, and social protection.

Whatever ous views on tobacco, alcohol and sugary drinks, taxation is never the solution, and health policy must be instituted at national level, with each country freely exercizing its sovereignty.
After discussing the health hazards of alcohol consumption, the WHO solution is a ‘masterpiece’ in Globalist thinking.
“The WHO said governments should target alcohol consumption to protect people from its ill effects. Increasing the cost of booze through taxes is one of the most effective measures governments can take, the WHO said. Yet, some EU countries have minimal or no taxes on certain types of alcohol.”
