Christopher Snowdon quoted in the Eastern Eye
IEA’s Head of Lifestyle Economics, Christopher Snowdon, was quoted in the Eastern Eye in their release on doctors pushing for stricter drink driving limits.

“However, Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs, expressed reservations about lowering the limit, citing the experience in Scotland where pub trade was negatively impacted without a significant reduction in accidents and fatalities.
“He argued that proposals to reduce the limit to nearly zero are anti-alcohol policies rather than road safety measures.”
