    It is often traditionally considered to be an achievement in Britain, yes.

    Ideally you don’t get drunk though - you should be able to drink as much alcohol as possible, whilst showing as few effects as possible, for some reason. If you become drunk after too few alcoholic drinks, you “can’t handle your drink” and you are a “lightweight”. These are both negative characteristics in a person.

    I’m not saying I necessarily agree with this, I’m just saying it exists :)

  “More than 8,200 people died because of alcohol in 2023 - a 42% rise on 2019 - with the North East having the highest rates.”

  Denmark are still worse though so no need for alarm. Scottish drug deaths meanwhile…

    Well, we’ve a minimum pricing per unit on alcohol, any kind of multipack deal is forbidden, and the licensing hours are such that it’s easier to get yourself some bennies than it is to get a drink before lunchtime; need to plan your day around getting some booze in the house.

    National drug policy should really be about minimising harm, with treatment and rehabilitation for addicts, but any kind of talk that isn’t about stringing them all up is anathema to our circus of bawbags in Westminster.

  Paywall.

  “Drinking culture” is one of those really stupid human habits that I will never understand nor partake in as an adult.
