I don't drink

Corporate greed and total irresponsibility

The news that Coca-Cola are entering the alcohol market to exploit the young drinking culture in Japan makes me livid. In years to come this same company will be trying to say how responsible they are whilst wriggling out of law-suits for having helped to fuel an alcohol crisis that will cause ill-health, misery and death. It really proves the point that most corporates are purely driven by greed and shareholder returns than any moral responsibility.
I don't drink Coke but I will studiously avoid any drinks from the coca-cola company from now on by way of my own protest. If they get away with this in Japan they will do the same in many other countries where the government is weak on protective legislation for its populace or open to bribes. One day when alcohol consumption has the same stigma attached as smoking Coca-Cola will no doubt be paying out billions in compensation, but by then the management and shareholders of today will have moved on and be enjoying the wealth earned from the misery of others. Bad move Coca-Cola.
