I recall on my two trips to the UK (England and Scotland) that drinking in pubs is legend. Even the females who usually can’t hold their liquor as well as larger males drink heartily. I find that sad. A drunken female is not very attractive.
And, because I watch all those British shows on public TV and occasionally BritBox, I know that just about anything that happens in the UK is a reason to go to the local pub and have several pints. Wife have a baby, drink a few beers. The post arrived early today, have a few beers. A murderer has killed the favorite to win the cake decorating contest, hit the pub and down more beer. Ladies get together to knit socks, open a few bottles of wine and finish them off. Charging the EV while driving to Glasgow, walk over the local pub and enjoy a few more pints.
