I'm British and i hardly ever drink alcohol! It's a small minority that spoils our image. Lets face it "Sober Brit On Holiday" is never going to make the front page is it?

It is a pub culture, and the local is the focus of many people's social life, and after a hard weeks work many need a blow-out.

Not all british people do - but there is a sector of society who binge drink - mostly young people - but that makes up only a small percentage of the population.

The weather? Boredom?

Because we bloody well can. ...and as a country have a massive problem with binge drinking, but that's alright :) I think it's the cold.
