Milk For Drinkers
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, December 6. One of London’s biggest breweries has agreed to consider a National Dairy Council plan to sell milk near publie houses so that drinkers can have a pint of milk before they start taking in alcohol. The proposal follows a medical experiment in which
men and women drinking about a pint of milk showed little or no signs of drunkenness after drinking sufficient quantities of alcohol to make non-milk drinkers intoxicated. Watneys Breweries, who control 6900 public houses in Britain, said tonight that it was possible that milk would be sold near public houses. “It is unlikely that you will find a milk-vending machine in the bar, but you might find one outside the house,” he said. “If a tenant decided to sell milk over the bar, that would be his affair.”
