| What does it mean? |
|
Sensible drinking means drinking enjoyably, sociably and responsibly. It includes not drinking at all in situations when the effects of alcohol will put someone's safety or health at risk.
It also means being aware of the risks to young people of drinking alcohol and setting an example of moderation.

Pliny the Elder
'Nothing is more useful than wine for strengthening the body and also more detrimental to our pleasure if moderation be lacking'
