There is certainly something odd about the Brit drinking culture...at either end of my UK/European weekly commute, around air port bars its quite common to see groups of Brits ( sadly by the volume of their conversations there is no doubt about the nationality) hoovering up pints of lager at 5, 6, or 7 in the AM...Now the Brits aren't the only morning drinkers - I've seen a planeload of French paras almost all indulge in a civilised quiet breakfast time drink, but why is it that a significant number of Brits seem obsessed by "going on the lash" at breakfast time in Airport bars ?
Oh yeah, FWIW I'm a Brit and definitely not tee total...but what the h*** is going on here?
