A French court has ruled all press articles about alcohol must also contain a health warning. The worrying decision came against an article headlined "The triumph of champagne" in Le Parisien, which reviewed various brands of champagne. The National Association for the Prevention of Alcoholism and Addiction took the paper to court. Le Parisien was ordered to pay £3,727 in damages to the Government-funded body. The court ruled that despite being an editorial article, it should have conformed to advertising regulations and included a health warning on excessive drinking. Morning Advertiser
