South Africa and alcohol: Don’t touch a drop
ECONOMIST Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:00:48 GMT
LOWERING the permissible alcohol level for drivers is common enough. Banning booze on the roads altogether is plainly far more drastic. But road deaths in Brazil, for instance, have dropped by almost a third in the three years since the government told drivers to eschew even a drop. The South African government, in a bid to cut the country’s tippling, proposes to follow suit. It wants to ban all alcohol advertising. Some ministries have stopped serving booze at functions. What about banning roadside pedestrians from drinking too? Even that may be under consideration, though it is unclear how walkers weaving home from a legal drinking bout would be taken to task.In alcohol-consumption league tables, South Africa is middle-of-the-road; between half and two-thirds of its citizens never drink. But if teetotallers are excluded, South Africans may be the fifth-heaviest tipplers in the world, with each adult drinker downing on average 35 litres of pure alcohol a year, twice as much as...

Icons of 2011: No4: Alastair Cook | Kevin Mitchell
GUARDIAN Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:52:11 GMT
At the heart of England's rise to the summit of Test cricket is a batsman who does not conquer a ground so much as seduce it There is something beguiling about the elegant compilers. Alastair Cook – like Rahul Dravid (and David Gower and Greg Chappell before them) – does not conquer a cricket ground so much as seduce it. The realisation that Cook is building one of his run mountains comes in quiet ripples around the ground, perhaps after the third hot dog or just as the sun and the lager poke the Barmy Army into song. He might not have the sweet flow of shots that made Gower such a delight to behold but his uncluttered class is a reminder in the age of the Big Bash, as the Australians put it, that art comes in varied forms. He works with the brush strokes he knows best and they are not expansive but clipped. It is probably not a view India's bowlers embraced with enthusiasm when Cook was breaking their hearts during the summer's whitewash, most memorably while stacking up 294....
