This wouldn't have happened if they had a pledge there. It could have shaped their lives.

Pledge in UK.

I think they win.

I'd do that pledge every fucking day for sure.

Shouldn't that headline read "Best Binge Drinkers"? Kinda depends on perspective I guess. :D

The strategy unit acknowledged binge drinking was difficult to define but said that for the purposes of its report it meant drinking more than twice the government's daily guidelines.

Those guidelines are three to four units of alcohol a day for men and two to three units for women. A unit is defined as half a pint of medium strength beer


1 fucking beer qualifies as "binge" drinking for women? 2 of them is "binge" drinking for men?

Those sort of standards are why the US > Europe! Shit, when I think of a drinking binge i think 2-3x that minimum.

When it comes to getting wasted on beer,the Brittish > All of j00! :b Hehehe

Respect `n shit ;)

Their standards are pretty weak for binge drinking. 4-6 beers for woman and 6-8 for a man? I, personally, wouldn't consider something binge drinking unless someone doubled these figures.

'Those sort of standards are why the US > Europe!'

That's right you lightweight, run away! And take your lightweight buddies with you!

Hehe this is so true. I don't drink much at all except when partying, and then get totally wasted. (im english btw).

Girls are the worst for it though, and then they go absent from work because females generally suffer worse hangovers than men.
