We have always been a nation of boozers, two Kings drank themselves to death, and we have had some right pissheads in our sportsmen, writers, actors, poets and politicians.
But the drink culture among the young people today seems to be getting worse.
I used to get drunk when I was younger but only on beer. Today young people drink shots as well as beer and lager.
Women and not just young women drink things with exotic name's like **** Star and *** on the Beach as well as the traditional gin and vodka.
You rarely saw a drunken woman in our day, I have never seen my wife drunk in over 40 years of being with her. A good thing too because she drove the car while we visited the pub's. But women today in pubs are more drunk than sober. I reckon most of them have those awful tattoos while they are p issed.
I only have a few pints with friends these days, but when the pub had the Christmas party the other week I had the three course Turkey dinner, followed by cheese and biscuits and got through, five pints of lager, four real ales, three glasses of red wine, three whiskies and a rum and coke.
Cheers.
