Alcoholics to sue drink makers:
GLASGOW, Scotland, July 20 (UPI) -- A dozen alcoholics ranging in age from 18 to 60 are going to sue drink makers for not warning them about the dangers of alcohol.The only surprise is that it is in the UK and not the USA.
The suit will be filed in Edinburgh next month, marking the first case of its kind in Britain, The Sunday Times reported.
In the suit, the plaintiffs will argue addiction to alcohol has ruined their lives and the alcohol industry failed to warn them of the risks involved in drinking, the newspaper said.
Attorneys representing the group said they will employ tactics used by attorneys representing cancer victims in suits against tobacco companies in the United States.
