From Huffington Post :-

The Pill That Prevents You Getting Drunk – Would You Try It?.

Wouldn’t have stopped this alcoholic drinking I would just not have taken the pill when I was searching for oblivion.

May have played with them on those times I thought I’d have just a couple before loosing yet another night/day, but my delusion was such I thought it would be different every-time.

Two British Pubs ‘Close Every Day’

Two British Pubs ‘Close Every Day’ Due To Tax Increases, Cheap Supermarket Deals.

Not that I spend much time in them any more but The British Pub is on the wane, just looking around my home City they are closing everywhere.

No mention of the smoking ban in this article but can’t help thinking it is a contributory factor. They don’t even smell like pubs any more just stale sweat and booze. The only exception is country pubs with a log fire and old wooden floors.

‘Beans on Toast’ said it best for me with his “F*ck the smoking ban”
