So-so headlines made unreadable by art direction which means well but doesn't quite cut it..

A little too much finger wagging for my taste. I might drink more just to spite this ad.

Yes. Very preachy.

It's refreshing to see an ad that doesn't scream ' Stop drinking right now or you'll die - RIGHT NOW!!!!' Like all the Aussie/NewZealand stuff.

I like this one the best, but then I've got kids. Hit on a truth for me (sadly).

NHS is a government brand so it HAS to tell us something important.

Love the messages but really don't like the antique wood. Dated.

Read about this in Campaign mag (London), it was a tie up with Wetherspoons pub chain.

Gotta be a goverment bribe, fair play to the creatives for redecorating.
