Alcohol on the Web!

I think that Ms.Bachelot is doing the right thing. Responsible advertising of alcohol on the web will be a good revenue source for websites and will permit the industry to possibly expand sales, this puts money in peoples pockets and keeps people in the alcohol production industry working which in turn helps keep the rest of us rather relaxed at the end of the day. Hmm, all this typing fatigued me, I think a glass of French Merlot is in order.
