You are right, Nev, to say that it is more damaging for public health. There is a rise in alcohol-related disease among wine drinkers, partly because wine is now stronger in alcohol content than it was 20 years ago and partly because so many people have "lost the pub habit", as Nev puts it. As a society, we seem to be becoming more atomised, with community centres like the church, the social club and now the pub falling out of favour.
