Sir: Leonard Cottrell asks for your readers' advice.

He should visit the casualty department at a large hospital and some road accidents with the police during the hours 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. He would then see the handiwork of some who put spirits in themselves as well as in their cars during an evening out. Then, if he cannot wean himself from the bottle, he should emigrate to a country with wide unoccupied spaces taking his high-powered car with him.
