Ugh. They reckon drinking over 4 pints or something stupid like that is binge drinking

People were legally allowed to carry knives back then also. Although obviously they still do now, less fear. And the 70's was a much more violent time. No new age man

LOL. You and Stu are probably right. Hey, I was only born in '93, so, unless I was there to see how it was like for myself, I'm probably in no state to judge, haha.

Another thing people forget as well now is that Britain is the most CCTV country in the world and the police have all sorts of tactics to take down thugs. Thus crimes are spotted and reported more making it appear as though there are more.

Today's Daily Mail article in the 70's would have been a good old fashioned scruff up you and the lads would take care of yourself.

Yeah definitely, can't escape the cameras these days and the police are way more advanced.

God I mean people literally got away with murder in those days, very basic with DNA and all that. They had it a lot harder than we do now. It's that whole golden generation thing that is a myth

As in people binge drinking or what's classified as binge drinking in the media?

Binge drinking is where you don't drink at all in the week and then drink like 3 weeks worth in the weekend or something. I think anyway

Now, THAT'S what I'd call damaging to the reputation of us Scousers.

This is more or less what I do. I don't drink often but when I do I drink a lot.

Yeah I thought that too but it's steadily turning to they'll say you binge drink if you have a shandy per week

I remember watching a documentary on drinking culture in Britain - one of those late night Bravo shows with names like Brits Badly Boozed XI or something - and they revealed the most alcoholic town in Britain was some posh little village.

It had no binge drinking culture but they drank far, far more than other towns when you added it all up because the drink was spread across the week. People would be going in to the pubs having sherrys and pints all day in small amounts and bollocks like that.

But no one bats and eyelid at professionals across the land who regulary have whiskey throughout the day and then sink a bottle of wine once home.

Yeah, everyone thinks the working class are big drinkers, they need to take a look at the middle class lol

Apparently binge drinking is a lot worse for you as well

[Boothy]

Funner though.

[Vicky.]

Meh. I dont believe its worse for you.

Having a month or so inbetween gives your body time to recover. if you are having drink everyday, you get no time to recover as such.

[Twilight]

Slags.

I dont actually understand people who will go to the pub regularly for a 'couple'. Whats the point? When I go out, I go out to get sluaghtered. not sit around talking pleasantries over a glass of wine.
