    A senior Labour MP says we can't underestimate the damage caused by alcohol

    A senior Labour MP says we can't underestimate the damage caused by alcohol


    Advocate Mike King yesterday said on Newstalk ZB, alcohol can stop negative thoughts - and could be a solution to mental health.

    Ginny Andersen says that's against medical consensus.

    She says alcohol is the drug with the worst societal effects.

    Andersen says it hurts more families and causes more harm and addiction than meth.
