I was interviewed today by Kimberly Gillan, a journalist and writer for NineMSN on a Health & Wellbeing article on alcohol drinking. This was in response to the rather controversial claim by Dr Kari Poikolainen that drinking is only dangerous once you go above the equivalent of a bottle of wine a day.
