Re: The Demon Drink

I would be in good company though, from what friends at the English College tell me.

I can honestly say that i was definitely "Squiffy" on Xmas Eve -watched a lovely Bernardo Bertolucci film which i hadn't seen in ages (The Last Emperor) and was on the edge of becoming Maudlin because of the music (by Sakamoto).

Luckily my Giddy tendency took over and a good nights sleep left me no side effects. Mind you i did only drink wine and am careful to drink one glass of water for every one of wine!

I can remember the last time I was legless twas my 50th birthday, many moons ago:D

David Cameron plans minimum alcohol price in England - Telegraph

How many of us think that increasing the unit cost of alcohol, to 40p per unit, is going to solve the problem of too much booze, too freely available to people with who do not know the meaning of the word 'Moderation'?

And if you think a minimum price for alcohol is the way to go, is 40p per unit too little or too much?

If you don't agree with Nanny's proposals, how would you solve the problem of too many, drinking too much, too often?

According to todays Express it's against European Law to force any one to charge a minimum price. Never mind David good try(bet you knew all along)

Re: The Demon Drink

The price isn't the problem as I've said before it's peoples attitudes that need sorting. As to the blather about the money raised going towards treating the problems caused, utter bull, it's just another way or raising revenue to line the coffers.

Underhand & deceitful, Cameron at his smarmy best.

As I have got older, I have found that my taste for alcohol has diminished greatly. I prefer a good strong cup of tea.

I agree Margaret, booze doesn't bother me these days, I'd already cut down to drinking wine, haven't had a bottle of that for ages even with a meal, in fact the last time I had a drink was when I went to the Talbot in October

Re: The Demon Drink

these days it seems that people go out with the intention of getting bladdered.....some of them go out already half cut.
I don't go out much in the evening anymore, but when I used to socialise....we went to the pub...not with the intention of getting drunk, but with the intention to socialise, chat, meet up with friends.....and sometimes while we were having such a good time we forgot to count how many we had had to drink........I cannot ever remember being so drunk as to not know what I was doing.......maybe that is because when I was really over the 8, I was invariably sick.......and didn't get a hangover because all the booze was down the armitage.

Opening the pubs all day to promote a continental cafe culture was just never going to work. The Brits have a different outlook on alcohol than the continentals.....and who wants to sit outside a pub in January with a cold pint freezing their assets off.....not me!

Re: The Demon Drink

Oh I enjoy a drop as much as the next drunken bum, probably more so :D but contrary to appearances I do have a healthy respect for the Ale & know my limits, it's been a long, long, long time since I last embarrassed myself or others through the drink, but I still have my gibbery moments on occasion.

Might as well just slug it outa the bottle ... pass the Chateau Porchclimber:mosher:
