    Booze booze and more booze

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7201874.stm

    "Among men in households with a gross weekly income of over £1,000, 83% had had a drink in the previous week, and 51% had drunk more than four units on at least one day."

    Errrrr..... Am I the only one worried when the above drinking levels become noteworthy?

    Sounds quite reasonable to me. Especially considering that there is a much greater selection of drinks that will have 2 units in the standard helping nowadays.

    Anyway, it's healthy to have one drink a day!! There is some rat research somewhere proving it.

        And there was me thinking I was drinking alone.
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            Men drink an average of 18.7 units a week

            That is only six and a half pints of Stella. Amateurs.

                    This is good news as it will relieve the pensions crisis due in about 15 years.
