Do you drink? I do it rarely and only on social events...

[fingal]

Yes ... I drink ale.

I like to have wine when I meet up with my girlfriends for a meal, or beer when I go to decent pubs. I don't really like any other kind of booze and can never understand the growing culture in the UK of 'binge drinking'. When I go into town on a Sunday to shop, I have to watch where I walk as there is sick all over the pavements from the night before.... it's delightful!!

I'll have to try that one! Like you, I don't 'binge drink' and don't understand why anyone would. Birmingham is the same after the weekend, with a few bloodstains thrown in for good measure!

A few pints and I feel relaxed and easy to talk too. Any more than that and I sprout horns and start talking b*ll*ck* ...

Wery rarely. But I deffinately won't say no if someone offers me a beer.

Yes and probably too much! Quite typical for a 25 y/o British lad, although I’m not the type who goes ‘clubbing’, drinking everything in the bar and then having a fight.

I prefer drinking on a Friday night at my local country pub with my mates.
It was my Birthday yesterday and I was drinking a lot of popular UK beers like Carling, Caffreys (Irish), and Carlsberg Export (Danish?), but I can’t drink many pints, so went on to Whiskeys, Vodka and stuff later.

Thats a pretty typical thing to do in the UK.
Do those not from here perceive the UK to have a drinking problem? Binge drinking is a huge problem here!
