Booze calculator: What's your drinking nationality?
I see Belarus is the heaviest drinking nation in the world.

I just put ridiculous amounts down and it said you're nearest to Belarus, the heaviest drinking nation in the world.Off the scale I will not even look
I'd have you down as a malt whisky and fine wine man.I’m more than Belarus.
I only enjoy drinking at the football now. A mixture of getting bored with it, and been there done all that.For this week I'm like France but would usually be Kuwait. Seriously thinking about packing it in as well.
Enjoy... or need to?I only enjoy drinking at the football now. A mixture of getting bored with it, and been there done all that.
Need it to get through the season let alone a game !Enjoy... or need to?
Yeah have to admit, even if the game's shit, I'd like to remember what I've paid for.I'm not that keen on getting hammered for football. I remember Wembley, bought 6 cans on the way for the train journey that went while sat on the wall waiting as it was delayed. Then a good few more before and at the game.
Have to say, I can't really remember much of it. (It would have been a saving grace for most of the games this season).
I reckon 3 or 4 pints to be merry would be about right, but after football I usually have to drive or do stuff so it puts me out of action for the night then.
I meet up with a few football mates before home games, have a good drink and banter. But pubs don't seem to be that enjoyable now, and for years I was hardly out of boozers.I'm not that keen on getting hammered for football.

Seen a fair few games I couldn't tell you anything about, been to grounds I couldn't tell you how to get there... and I dunno what I got out of it really other than a large bill for the tickets and a hangover!

I think pubs aren't the same nowadays, when I was about 16 up to about 22 it would be that we would all meet up in the pub after work. Few games of pool and a couple of drinks, weekend would guaranteed to be in there.
There would be games of killer pool with about 35 - 40 people playing, the old boys, randoms we didn't know etc and could spend hours in there.
Nowadays if you mention to a 16 year old you were in the pub at their age you get funny looks, even away from football being shite it's a dying thing. Don't even get me started on groups of lads who go for coffee. When lots of the young uns go out to town they have "pre drinks" where they go to a house to about 11 and then go straight to a club and skip the pubs.
It died out with us because we all had kids etc so couldn't justify it going straight from work to the pub until about 7, come home for a shower then go back to the pub and see what happens 3 nights a week. It just doesn't seem to have carried on with the generations after.
Yeah the gobshites I work with don't really go to pubs and tend to do 'pre-drinks' up until midnight and then go to some wanky club. A lot of it is probably down to pints costing £5er though.
For years we met up in the pub most nights and weekends. Didn't need to phone each other, you'd just be in the pub and all you're business was done in there. When I drank in the Acorn pub I'd walk the same route at 7oclock every night. My future missus lived near there and would tell me she watched me go past her house at that time. She fell for a piss head who said romance is dead !
That was happy hour !Sounds like the old couples in Wetherspoons who drink halves together, have a pissed up dance and then a fight at closing over something silly.
It depends where you go though, some places are still £2.50 - £3.50 a pint. If it's like a city centre bar it will be more but I am talking proper rough local shit holes. (ones that still exist, that aren't flats, houses or local supermarkets now).
I can't post and be PC and post what response somebody would have got if they said "Do you want to come to mine and drink and then go out" back in the day.
