Its all those glasses of wine consumed at dinner [the evening one not the midday one..although...] and there's only so much cheap cider one person can fit in at once. I must admit I smirked a little when watching this on [gmtv lol] this morning, along with the reporter saying [about the 'plane crash' that "one of the planes was in the wrong place at the wrong time"
no s@#t sherlock.

I thought it was interesting there was a north south divide (pretty much) wrt the hazardous drinking and the more serious "harmful" drinking though:

"The study also identifies a more dangerous category of "harmful" drinking, where people directly damage their bodies through their alcoholic habits.

This particular league table is dominated by big urban areas such as Manchester, Liverpool and Salford, where more than 8 per cent of adults are "harmful" drinkers."

so northern MC's are worse eh?... blummin yorkies

Yep, leafy Surrey here! Bottoms up! (hic!)

No arguments with the report, btw

Well of course they don't drink as much. They can't fucking afford to!

I did have a secret snigger when I heard this on the radio today

Blimey.... that reminds me.............

nah desi - we just dont buy expensive red wine.

nowt wrong with a litre for 99p

always 99p down back of couch

lol

and surely cider counts as one of your five a day

Dh didn't read this in the Torymail (I feel I should state that!), but heard it on Radio 5 Live. He just walked in the door 5 minutes ago and immediately started lecturing me because I was half way through a bottle of Chablis (posh me, no chuffin 'ere).

I felt like saying if I am alcoholic maybe it's because you are workaholic

• that should read "no chuffin chardonnay 'ere" - see how my brain is atrophying

lol at me saying 'they'. Like I'd want to be middle class and wear polo necks, drive a Volvo and play golf.

Strongbow cider in the wobbly bottles. Now that's the way forward.

Polo necks? [fascinated and simultaneously confused]

pmsl @polon ecks. you must explain!

Er HMC Chablis is chardonnay...

It comes from a Billy Connelly rant of yesteryear.

He spoke of his local milkman's impression of the 'classes.' The working class were brilliant. They'd offer you a cup of tea and ask how your kids were.

The upper classes did the same.

But the middle classes couldn't give a fuck about you ... and they wore polo necks, drove Volvos and played golf

pmsl!

Well, I don't think old milky's that wrong. Whenever I've worn a polo neck, I get this suffocating urge to stick me nose in the air
