A fellow drug/alcohol blogger has alerted me to the fact that Daily Dose is no longer linking to blogs. Yes the drug/alcohol blogosphere, the drugalcosphere, the dralcosphere, is all abuzz with this devastating news. Daily Dose, the world's greatest abstracting service on substance misuse, does not find bloggers a worthy source of news.
You know what? I so don't care. Their alcohol coverage is crap - every time I look it is all mainstream stuff from the BBC or stuff from Australia. Google Reader is a better source of information. Alcohol Policy UK would easily be a better source of what was happening if it was less sporadic. Come to that, my teenage sons are a better source.
And apart from BBC and Australian stories, it's mostly drugs news. Binge Britain (a nasty, worthless, alcohol blog) offers a stunning prize to the first reader who can show me a week of 'Doses' that has more UK alcohol news coverage than drugs.
Get over it people.

Stella at this rate your blog will have been dark for a whole year. Is this because things are going so well for people with alcohol problems? I keep hearing that things are changing for the better and it's a new era for alcohol blah blah but drug users still get all the treatment and alcoholics still have to pretend to have used drugs before they can get help. Why don't you write wbout that? Billy
