Why do young women drink themselves to oblivion every night across Britain?

Midnight on St Mary Street in Cardiff and everything is exactly as expected. Half a dozen young women slump in a gutter, men urinate outside a health-food shop and, as hordes stagger between nightclubs, someone lifts up a blow-up doll with a sex toy protruding out of it.
The street smells of urine and lager, police struggle to break up a fight outside the Walkabout bar and a paramedic bundles a comatose girl on to a wheelchair. But it's a quiet night for 20-year-old Naomi Jenkins. She has 'only' drunk three shots of peach schnapps, cider and three shots of Jagermeister (during a drinking game called I Have Never) and still feels 'a bit sober'. Her friend Hannah Freeman, 19, was punched in a fight and stumbles about swearing and searching for a bathroom.
'We only do embarrassing things when we're really drunk,' Naomi says. 'I kiss random men in the street and Hannah has had sex behind a chicken coop.' She screams with laughter as Hannah lurches unsteadily in the stairwell of Charleston Bar and Grill on Caroline Street (known locally as Chip Alley) and unashamedly urinates in front of us.

I have seen these stories increase over the years. Things are spiralling down hill fast over there with this bing drinking. They tried to push back the closing of the bar later thinking people were tanking up fast before the close of the bar, but it doesn't seem to have had an effect. The pictures in the article really sum up how crazy it is over there.

My bet is the Misery Index and lack of Christianity in GB has much to do with this.

Sooner than the Brits think, too, I fear. How could a country with such a rich history voluntarily had itself over to an utterly alien philosophy, religion and way of life? Oh, wait a minute ......
