Sort of got half my eye on it but this woman is going drinking with various different types of women and comparing how much alcohol she can take compared to a man - just showed her actually throwing up in quite a close up in the toilet - enough to put you off alcohol.

I like a few drinks but the 14 year old girls and twenty somethings was awful - they were all over the place.....

[Have turned over from terribly posh horsey woman on bbc2......]

I'm glad I was always too vain to really drink a lot, one glass of Pimms and I'm wasted.

Hmmm didn't really come to any particular conclusions just seemed to look at different ages and drinking habits. Failed to look at drinking at home which I think a lot of 'mums' do as don't get out that much. I'm a really cheap date especially these days - 2 big glasses of wine and I'm feeling tipsy!

The clip of her throwing up makes me want to drink water for the rest of my life. I've only been sick on a few occasions, two of them involving tequila slammers. Just typing those words bring back the memory of passing out on the floor of the ladies loo at the local bowling alley, classy . I learnt my lesson.

Just watched this on iPlayer and even though my instinct says they've OBVIOUSLY gone for the extremes to make for better telly, I'm wondering if I'm a freak of nature for hardly drinking at all, apart from a slight blip during my Uni days when I might (gasp) have 5-6 drinks in one night a couple of times a week. Getting bladdered has just never seemed all that fun to me. Am I missing something?

I also think no matter how many disclaimers they threw at it, encouraging 14 year olds to get off their faces when their mothers have already said they disapprove was a bit irresponsible. And can anyone support/refute the mother's claim that if you try to bodily bring your drunken, misbehaving teenage child home you'll get done for assault?
