I thought it was a gimmick at first, but your banter is absolutely horrific.

Check the definition of class, do you think by daily, continually and repetitively correcting posters, with one letter spelling mistakes, or two, on a football forum. Is smart, cool, funny, anything o

Only cos you're never sober enough to they it. The day you finally dry out will be like that episode of father Ted when they manage to get Father Jack off the booze and he freaks out

Great Britain is increasingly becoming a nation of teetotallers, with young adults and Londoners leading the way, figures reveal.


More than one in five adults (21%) do not drink alcohol at all – a 19% increase since 2005, according to the Office for National Statistics’ Adult Drinking Habits in Great Britain, 2013 report released on Friday.


Young adults aged 16-24 were primarily responsible for this change, with the proportion of young adults who said they do not drink alcohol at all rising by over 40% between 2005 and 2013.


Alcohol misuse is a leading cause of ill-health in Britain. It can contribute to a number of serious conditions, including cancer, liver and heart disease. In 2011/12, there were more than 1 million alcohol-related hospital admissions in England alone, and it is estimated that alcohol misuse costs the NHS in England approximately £3.5bn every year.


The ONS estimates that in 2011, just over 7,000 deaths registered in the UK were alcohol-related. This equates to about 1.4% of all deaths for that period.


But the figures show that binge-drinking among adults went down from 18% in 2005 to 15% in 2013, although it has remained relatively unchanged since 2011.


The report also found that the proportion of young adults who drank frequently has fallen by more than two-thirds since 2005: only one in 50 young adults drank alcohol frequently in 2013.


There were regional differences. Almost one-third of adults in London (32%) said that they do not drink alcohol at all. This was considerably higher than any other region of the UK.


Adults in the north of England and Scotland who drank in the week before the interview, however, were more likely to have binged than adults elsewhere in Britain. Around one-third had binged, compared to less than a quarter of those in other parts of Britain.


The report, however, noted that “it is difficult to explain these regional differences with any particular factor”.

Is that not because Great Britain is slowly turning into The Islamic State of Great Britain. You never seen them out binge drinking of a weekend

Stopped on January 4th. Really wouldnt mind sinking a few jars tonight though.

 

Already looking forward to the first pint after Landaaan.

 

I technically stopped after the 2nd, but I've decided not to count them.

 

My mate Jimmy from Fraserburgh opened up a bar in Barcelona just for me, which was nice of him.

A NEW festival celebrating the art and science of drink is launching in Aberdeen.

The first ever week-long Drink! Aberdeen festival will run from Monday, May 25 and is being organised by cocktail catering company 10 Dollar Shake.
The programme will feature a number of dinners, seminars and tours across multiple venues in the city.
Managing director of 10 Dollar Shake, Adrian Gomes, said: “We wanted to run a festival to inspire people, in and out with the hospitality industry, to be creative in the way they think about food and drinks.”
Events include a flavour seminar from food science advisor to Heston Blumenthal, Dr Rachel Edwards Stuart.
Dr Stuart has also worked with chef Herve This in his molecular gastronomy team in Paris.
Other events include a ‘booze walk’ with wild food consultant and forager Mark Williams and a whisky and food pairing dinner from world whisky day founder Blair Bowman.
Mr Gomes owns bars The Tippling House and Rye and Soda, which will play host to some of the festival’s events.
He added: “There are so many opportunities in the bar and drinks industry both in Scotland and worldwide.
“The sector can often be seen as a stop-gap job space.
“But with so many intricacies, things to learn and avenues to pursue it can make for a rewarding and lucrative career.”
The festival will also feature a beer and popcorn tasting from Ellon craft beer producers BrewDog.
Also planned are tours of well-known distilleries such as Six Degrees North in Laurencekirk and Glen Garioch in Oldmeldrum.
Mr Gomes added: “Running a constantly evolving events programme is an important part of 10 Dollar Shake’s offering.
“We regularly work with international spirit brands to host cocktail competitions and industry tastings.
“We see Drink! Aberdeen going from strength to strength over the next couple of years and becoming an important fixture in Scotland’s cultural calendar.”

Fair enough, the more people who are educated that supermarket 12 packs of Tennents, Fosters, Stella et al are the lowest quality beers available, and that there is so much more to try.

 

 

Aberdeen city council should head hunt Bluto to give afternoon seminars on beer variants, although evening group sessions may be beyond him if he is sampling, as well and lecturing in the avo

I don't think buying a few ales from the off-licence really counts as a beer tasting event Bluto min.

 

 

But who wants to drink 20ml nips of beer anyway.

 

Pint of Belgium Blonde ale barman, howp the pint down.

 

Barman, pint of the Revvy Blonde please, howp the pint down.

 

Repeat.

 

After 6 your start forgetting the good from the great beers you have just tasted.

The beers bottled so it a bottle for each drink normally. Usually the later beer are shared by they're the rare and/or strong ones.

 

Its a marketing event remember so there's usually limitless supply. 20ml measures wouldn't go down well with the trifty locals.
