To all the drinkers out there

Drinkers ‘subsidising’ non-drinkers by £6.5 billion a year - Telegraph

I would like to say thank you and I am grateful. But it would be a lie.

I will carry on not drinking and doing sporting events where athletes regularly crash at great expense to the tax payer.

Its only fair as I am a smug old git.

People like you make me sick. Living off the rest of us like a leech. I paid more in Tax on pies last year to keep A&E open for you when you get hit by a lorry.

Parasite.

Having been in London for the last few years I found myself ordering a pint of the local ale oop north recently. I handed over 10 pounds, the barman tried to give me over £7 in change, I refused, demanded a full refund and walked out. I mean c'mon whose heard of a pint costing less than a fiver these days...

A pub I occasionally walk to does local ale at £2.50 a pint on Tuesdays. Very good it is too. And that is in Surrey, between Guildford and Dorking. Was the wife's™ birthday on Tuesday so we went there. 2 gin & tonics for her, 2 pints for me and some nibbles. £4.60. You don't get that oop north or in the big smoke.

Okay so £2.50 a pint, you've had 2 of those, bought the missus a couple of lady drinks and scoffed down some peanuts/scratchings and kettle chips, all for £4.60? Are you Gordon Browns economics advisor?

No, the gins were on the house cause it was her birthday, and I get local rates.

I bought 4 pints and 2 cokes at the local cricket club for £10.70 last week.

Clearly a lie. Starts of at £2.50 a pint then suddenly it's £4.60 for two pints and nibbles.
