observer Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 - to mark every bottle, every glass with it's contents in alcholic units; rather than embarking on a ?10million ad campaign, telling us how much we can drink before we get off our heads?

Peter T Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Steady obs. That requires logic and thinking. It might also stop these people conning everyone out of consultancy fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 As if people who set out to get as drunk as possible are going to use these numbers for any other reason than to achieve their goal in the shortest possible time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBain Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Although Obs suggestion has merit, I suspect that the manufacturers of bottle labels would object as it might increase their printing costs by 0?000000000516% and thus erode the bonus that the CEO is due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 If the intent of the British binge drinker is to get drunk in the shortest possible time, in the belief that doing so provides them with a good time, that they don't remember next day as they nurse their hangover; are they going to worry about how many "units" they have consumed, other than something to brag about in the office?!
