Only if you read the Daily Mail or watch GMTV We're actually only twelfth out of fifteen in Europe for the heaviest drinkers (a bloody disgrace, we should be much higher) http://www.forbes.com/2007/11/27/drinking-europe-alcohol-biz-commerce-cx_tvr_1128drinking.html Title: Re: Nanny State Beer...

'Luxembourg, where residents pound down 15.5 liters of alcohol in a year, on average, ranks first. Close behind are France (14.2 liters), Ireland (also 14.2 liters, a lot more of it from beer), Hungary (12 liters) and the Czech Republic (11.8 liters).' 'Luxembourg taxes beer at just .02 euros per pint, lower than any European country other than Cyprus and Latvia. It has no excise tax on wine' Title: Re: Nanny State Beer... Post by: Doore on Monday, September 28, 2009, 13:20:37 Interesting that France is right up there, the unresearched brigade often hold up the French way of introducing kids to alcohol early as a reason that they don't drink much as adults.
N.B. I'm not saying don't introduce kids to booze at all, just arguing against the idea that Britain has a mad, feral and drunk society. Or, in other words, the Daily Mail should do their research and shut up. I am fully intent on doing no work today. Title: Re: Nanny State Beer...

Let's have a few more special beers, like: Peter Mandleson Ale (pink and looks and tastes like a cunt) One Eyed Snotgobbling PM (green and smells and tastes of piss) NHS Power Ale (0.0000000000001% ABV) Thieving Bastard MP Beer (costs £120k a bottle) Sheeple (65 million bottles produced, all looking the same and made of pure water, not brilliant ale) |
