Britain's Biggest Boozers
Drink up, drink up, drink up and be happy, UT's are on stand by. :mrgreen:
Teachers and drivers are the UK's most moderate drinkers - but many are still knocking back more than they should, according to a new survey.
The Department of Health poll found people working in education, transport and travel were England's most moderate drinkers, consuming an average of 24 units per week.
But even that figure is above the limit recommended by the NHS - two to three units a day for women and a maximum of three to four units for men.
People in the media, publishing and entertainment are the heaviest drinkers, consuming an average of 44 units a week, the survey found.
IT workers drank an average of 34 units a week, followed by service sector workers at 33 units.
People in finance, insurance and real estate get through an average of 29 units.

That reminds me, it's after 5.
Think I'll go have a double.

Yeah, it's the Puritanical upbringing that was forced on me. :lol:
Actually, it's considered kind of gauche around here to drink Scotch before 5 or so and since that's all I really drink any more I just wait.
Funny though, in a country of heavy drinkers people look at me sideways for drinking Scotch anyway. I still have more than half the bottle I bought last month on the shelf but they still assume you've got some kind of drinking problem if you drink the real booze.

More like jealous because the media says that Americans can't handle their booze and since you came from America they're just waiting for you to go postal as soon as you take that first sip. You scare people Todd ... all people! LOL! :shock: :) :lol:
