They can always go to the American south.

Drunk Brits are soooooo annoying...

I had to charge my customers 2 guilders for a glass of tap water. Same as a glass of coke. It's ridiculous.
Tap water and bottled water just doesn't taste the same, and at least in Holland, I liked tapwater better...

I lived in Britain for a while. People are not going to be happy if this goes through.

Wedenesday nights (tionight!!!!) after soccer is my pub night, mostly with a bunch of Brit/Scots ex-pats who agree all thankful they are living here now. And I always say "Well grateful enough to spot me a pint, limey!"

I guess Britain is getting tired of being number one in alcohol consumption.
That's right people, despite beer being a part of Canadian, American and German culture, Brits drink more per capita than any other nation.

Oh great..........another chart we're at the bottom of.

[andyt]

No, lots of nations below us, I just cut if off there. With so many people not able to handle their booze, I'm not sure it's a ranking we really want to move up in. Europeans seem to handle their booze much better. (Not counting the English)

[Regina]

I know.....just having some fun.

Europeans drink more cause especially the beer is much better over here.

[Brenda]

Booze is much cheaper in general too.
