One Last Pint ?
- Thread starter beechy
- Start date
More and more people will do their socalising at home or at friends houses due to the smoking and the savings on the price of alchohol at supermarkets.
This, to me, is the correct explanation .. becoming more sophisticated and cash rich.
I think it IS due to the smoking ban. Who wants to be stood outside in -2 and raining, then sitting in wet clothes??
It is much nicer to have a drink at home, with friends, in front of a nice warm fire. And your bed is never far away, this way
And yes, as has been mentioned, the cost is far easier on the purse to nip to Asda and get your beers there.

Christmas will be a telling point,,,,,,,i dont think there will be as many parties etc in pubs,, i think they will be held in peoples houses,,,CHEAPER AS WELL..
We have the same thing happening here ... and surprisingly it hapened just after the smoking ban came in. And sales at the beer stores and the liquor stores are up. We also lost some bars, one of the biggest in town, The Iron Horse Saloon, (a C&W bar) shut up shop very soon after the ban. .... put a few people out of work.
Well, yeh Beechy ... lots of booze being bought there on a Friday night .. in large packs too.
Think a culmination of all the above, smoking ban won't stop me from going for a good night out, even though a little aggravating to say the least.
Just wondered also if anything to do with changing times. In the 1930's, (particularly us up North) not many women frequented pubs/working men's clubs .. was the men that went there after work for a couple and weekend afternoons. They tended to drink nothing but beer. Now, we women are a little more wise to this male bonding and more pressure has been brought on you fellas to actually come home after work, not spend half the afternoons in the pubs, and when you go out ... WE ARE COMING WITH YA' !! to see that you don't overstep the mark
Beechy's question was just about beer ... does this include lager, as lots of lads now drink this nat's p*ss ?

Men don't overstep the mark, they trip over it after a few too many pints.
