A public health definition of binge-drinking is the consumption of at least five standard-sized alcoholic drinks on one occasion.

Oh, please. Five measly drinks is a "binge"?

British people like to drink???? Who woulda thunk it.

Trying to forget the ghastly weather.

[SMARTY]

I'll probably get in trouble for this.
England the land of warm beer and cold women.

Guy arrested for necrophilia. Said to the judge "I didn't know she was dead, I thought she was British"

Is that why they drink?

Try this crap when you are 34, that's when your youth catches up with you.

I thought it was safe to assume that 90% of Euros are either:

Blind Drunk, Drunk, Starting to get Drunk, on their way to getting drunk, coming home after getting drunk, working to support their drunkenness, and/or working to support someone else's drunkenness.

I just assumed...So the article really does come as a surprise.

Try your study at an SEC football game! - Go Gators.

In a sting operation carried out on 1,864 establishments as part of last summer's campaign, 45 percent of the bars and restaurants and 31 percent of the liquor stores were caught selling to minors.

Not too bad.

They need to artificially expand their clientele to make up for the lost business from chasing smokers away.

[t-1000]

I never has been to Europe. I thought it was legal to drink at any age?
So what is the legal drink age there?

[beyond the sea]

Blind Drunk, Drunk, Starting to get Drunk, on their way to getting drunk, coming home after getting drunk, working to support their drunkenness, and/or working to support someone else's drunkenness.

ROFL.

Dizzy, besotted, muddled, sodden, drenched, drunk as a fiddler, crapulent, stinko, tight, pie-eyed, nappy, swacked, pickled, plastered, soused, soaked, boiled, fried, tanked, crocked, potted, shellacked, balmy, lubricated, polluted, oiled, glowing, loaded, primed, blotto, under the table..............darn......... I wish there were this many words for being at peace or being content! What's that say?

LOL!

[Holicheese]

I agree. My idea of binge drinking is when you end up doing keg stands at a hockey buddies wedding!
Or when the band at the wedding says "what song do you want to hear" (cake cutting song) and you scream, "FREEBIRD!"
Or when you have to dig your fingers into the lawn because your yard is spinning so fast and you afraid you will get launched into space. Now that is BINGE DRINKING!

from a recent story.........

****

Police want an under-21 drink ban

Binge drinking is a major cause of anti-social behaviour Police want landlords in parts of the north-east of England to ban the sale of alcohol to people under 21.

Durham Police say the radical move will help cut drink-related crime during the summer months.

In an effort to target the problem of young adults buying drink on behalf of under-18s, licensees are being asked to sign up to a "21 or over scheme" which only allows those aged 21 and above to buy alcohol.

I get up at 7:00 A.M. and retire between 9:00 and 11:00 P.M., I average one Budweiser every two waking hours.

OR, when you go to a party at your girlfriend's best friend's house, and you find yourself trying to crawl in bed at 3:30 in the morning with the fine mother of your girlfriend's friend! That's BINGE DRINKING!
