In the light of today’s news (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16443240) about people being recommended to have a couple of alcohol-free days each week, it’s interesting to revisit the results of this poll (http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2010/01/eight-days-week.html) from a couple of years ago, in which 40% of respondents said they typically had an alcoholic drink every day.
It was disappointing, although not remotely surprising, to hear some strident harridan from Alcohol Focus Scotland being allowed to repeat her bilge on the BBC without the slightest challenge from the reporter.
As someone said on the radio, “two dry days a week is what passes for summer in Scotland”.
