Believe it or not I've been trying to cut down my own consumption in the last couple of months - no I don't drink as much as you, yes the fact that I feel the need to explain myself suggests I'm hiding something - anyway...<br /><br />Until such time as all bottles (and the pub) carry those Unit of Alcohol symbols its actually quite difficult to tell how much you've drunk.<br /><br />Is a glass of wine at home the same as one in a bar?<br />Is the wine 12.5% (usual French stuff), 14.5% (common in Californian) or good British Three Choirs at 10.5%?<br />And a pint of beer in the pub? Stella? Staro? Carling? 3? 4? 2?<br /><br />Its too open to fudge. Roll on the day when you get those symbols on everything.allan kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262139490250478379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700052276880251867.post-10774806866473546222009-05-03T18:46:00.000+01:002009-05-03T18:46:00.000+01:00Beware !
