at work, and yet...

I know I shouldn't even be reading this now, let alone write about it, but anyway. Just to bore you some more: The British and their alcohol - A love story. A few quotations from an article on reuters.com.

"'We want to talk to people to find out why it is they feel they have to drink to get drunk,' Coaker said."

Well, Mr Coaker, that indeed is a valid question. Why use alcohol? Only the British feel the need to drink in order to get drunk. The rest of European nations are either drunk by default or they resort to the consumption of cannabis.

"It is unacceptable for people to use alcohol as an excuse to urinate, vomit (in the street) and carry on in some of the ways they are carrying on." Again, Mr Coaker. And again, I feel I have to acquiesce: Drinking is really no excuse for urinating and vomiting in the street. The British had better look for something a little more credible. Like football, punk or politics.

What would Peanut say? Oh, gosh.
