Well done for staying off the booze mate.. keep going! :)

Some people do not have the capacity to investigate and seek out information and warning signs of any course of action. The advertising and publicised availability of drink is not challenged by an equally funded information campaign. This is what needs to happen. The snag is that most countries take a lot of revenue from drink taxes and from the purchases made while people are drinking. Governments therefore do not have a motive to increase spending on health messages and information.

BRAVO! Rather than completely faulting the industry for alcoholism, the bigger issue is our drinking culture and the lack of education on alcoholism provided at schools.

This is not the fault of the industry as such. If no laws are in place regarding advertisng and promoting drink then employees and agents of the industry who refuse to obey industry orders regarding the promotion and selling of increasing volumes of drinkwill be replaced by those people willing to do as they are told. The same thing applied to other personal welfare rules in many sectors of the economy. The rule of law had to be brought in to protect workers and make rules compulsory for all stakeholders in the sector.@@lllcraiglll

I agree, but also you have to consider the fact binge drinking is stupidly encouraged in our culture. Even at 15, I'd have adults encouraging me to drink more and more, ive even heard lines of "Being sick is a sign of a good night"! My own parents, used to allow me to have a pint with a meal or they'd encourage me to "try" a little wine. Changing culture takes generations and luckily, some of the younger generations are waking up to this poison. Something will replace Alcohol though, and we all know what that substance will be. ;)

@@jgdooley2003 no one needs to seek anything out. It is literally written on the bottles how many units you should drink. It is like saying don’t know having a car crash is dangerous until someone explains it to you.

I suspect you are right. We have the same problem here in Australia. It also doesn't help that the State makes massive amount of tax dollars from alcohol sales and the lobbies that the liquor industries have are incredibly powerful. Add to that the fact not many doctors actually know how to deal with alcoholism effectively and you see why this problem is so bad.

i think its the lack of sun and damp weather that causes people to stay at home. A great cocktail for depression

You should be asking why the government doesn't want to regulate it even though the health and social care costs are astronomical. Alcohol is a sedative.. and while people are drinking it and creating problems which they have to deal with... they are far too busy fighting amongst themselves than fighting the powers that be, to keep us in a system of debt.

@@khalidacosta7133 It is definitely not that sinister. The government isn't some evil cabal wringing their hands over keeping the population under control. The much simpler answer is money from lobbying and the fact that the majority of the population simply doesn't want any restrictions on alcohol. Any politician who makes alcohol more expensive or restricts it simply won't be reelected.

@@TheMrMacintosh Exactly. If the people want cheap booze, then give it to them... the politicians get more money through back handed deals, the public is fighting amongst itself and then reaching for the answers at the bottom of a bottle so the alcohol industry is happy and the top 1% cash in.... Keep the society dumb and stupid to profit from it!

I live in Scandinavia and I don't drink either however I am neither religious, pregnant, or a prude...I just don't like the taste of alcohol and what it does to my body. Now you should think that would be a simple enough explaination for anyone to understand, but oh no...when it comes to alcohol consumption, then most are freaking morons!

This is why researchers need to find other ways of assessing public consumption rather than just asking people. People will lie. People will virtue signal.

Welcome to selection bias.

I went to a pub in Belfast once. I had already had more than I would normally drink when everyone I was with started putting 20 quid each on the table, as a communal guiness fund. I did too but thought there was no way we would ever get through that (this was in 1997, so that it represented possibly 5-6 pints each) But of course we did. Awful hangover the next day.

Did you quit drinking then?

Young people like to brag about it

@@Winford.Studios but hasn’t it always been like this? hence the culture. it’s been like this for decades unfortunately. the older adults heavily influence the younger generations

Yeh drinking is terrible better get on the cocaine and crack instead

Uk, australia and nz all have that drinking culture

I left the UK 8 years ago and experienced other cultures. Now I see the UK drinking culture as very strange, and just sad. When you're part of UK culture you think drinking is masculine, but when you leave that culture you can see these men look very pale and physically weak. When I was 18 I worked in a pub which attracts a middle aged to older crowd, they would always criticise me for smoking weed (a phase I grew out of very quickly at 19/20), looking back it's laughable these guys would be on their high horse calling a teenager a druggie when they're fully grown men in their 40s and 50s who drink 6 nights a week.

Nice one 😊

Well done 👏

Exactly, I'd lived in UK for 7 years. Uni drinking was outrageous and really embarrassing. Shame the pub culture extends British drinking throughout adulthood as well. Having beer and wine during the week is something I haven't seen anywhere else

@blate dake well obviously alcoholics can be found anywhere in the world. But is it rationalised by "pub culture" outside the UK? Even drink driving limit had to be adjusted to accomodate it. Brits can also be easily spotted at airports and on holiday due to their out of control drinking

"widely viewed as so regular, although it is a drug." This is an important point. I get the feeling that people forget that alcohol is a soft drug alongside nicotine.

Thats good to hear, im trying so hard to manage it. I was only a social drinker but did it because I was fed up with my life, yet by blotting it out with cider, I never made anything of my life. It has clouded my judgment for so many decades with jobs, property decisions, all of it. Not to mention my digestive system has always suffered but continued because I didn't want to miss out on all the fun. So many regrets. Im 53 and just feel so bad about how ive wasted my life.

@@oddities-whatnot Funny you mention digestion. Mine improved dramatically since stopping. Two fold once you factor all the shite I no longer eat afterwards!

Hey, do you mind explaining why exactly you struggled with the once-per-week drinking after taking that long break for a year? Reason is, I'm currently 1 month in on sobriety and my goal was to reach a year. In order to find my true self and resolve any past anxieties/traumas I am hanging onto.. but lately I have been thinking it would be good to try to moderate alcohol in the future. Because why not? I feel like it's just a matter of willpower. But since you have been through this process, maybe you can shed some light on how the drinking impacted you negatively after your year of sobriety

@@nicebars Hi Nik, I was a weekend binge drinker. I would get 10 cans of lager in and then go to the shop for 4 more afterwards and wake up with horrendous hangovers/anxiety which would last for days. I stopped for a year and started again and the first session was exactly the same as my last session. I had the same tolerance, same lust for more cans and was back to square one. I am now 16 months in and am not intending to start again.

@@eddiemanuk1983 Ok man for sure, I appreciate the honesty.. I'm going to do the year off, then give it a go with moderation and if I catch myself slipping again I'll just go sober for life after that. I know that most problem-drinkers cannot moderate even after time off from the booze, I was just curious what your story was, we will see if I am the exception or fall prey to the same old habits!

People know, they just don’t want to believe it as it would justify their bad habits.

Correct.

So many good comments on here, for me it seems so far off. I am trying though to stop going to the pubs, I know there is more to life than that but when Im out having a good time, everything is fine. Next day is a different matter though. My digestive system has never tolerated alcohol much, yet just did it because everyone else did. Also, I get really down about my life after ive been drinking, knowing ive made a mess of it and not amounted to anything really. I cant turn the clock back so this in itself is one of the reasons I keep going out to the pubs because im fed up with my life, yet the going out drinking is the cause of my life being rubbish.

this was explored in one of the documentaries I found on youtube about alcohol. if I remember the title I'll post it.

Yes it's not much cheaper at my local shop for a litre of cider vs 2 litres. £1.78 for 2 500ml cans or £2.50 for a 2 litre bottle. So it's actually more cost effective for me to buy a larger quantity then I end up drinking too much lol

I think this is a big issue. If you are going to get more for your money of course you are going to buy the bigger pack and overall pay less. This is why things like discounts on buying more shouldn't be allowed, and we should be more in line with countries like Spain where yu are not penalised for drinking a half or buying a smaller pack but overall not losing out on money. I actually think in my opinion this would stamp out a lot of excessive drinking, maybe not for alcoholics, but for people who do enjoy a drink but then might be swayed into buying more than they really needed and then end up consiming it as a result since it's there.

Probably because 99% of drinkers are moderates but 99% of smokers are addicts.

@@user-pc1ys7hn6v Very good point.

True! Maybe there is one 'excuse' for this: There is such a thing as moderate drinking that is (almost) harness, such as a glass of wine for dinner. There is no such thing as harmless smoking... smoking is lethal and toxic from the first puff...

@@user-pc1ys7hn6v With all respect but to what I witness it more like 30% of drinkers are moderates. Else we wouldn't have this drinking problem.

Paul Harkin 99% of people think they are moderate, but the true fact is that at least 50% of drinkers drink much more then they realise

Yeah it doesn't make a difference. I now have the most money I've ever had and live in a place where alcohol is ridiculously cheap BUT it's the lowest I've ever drunk.

When you cut out drinking, you’ll find that you have a whole lot of others demons to deal with. The issue isn’t just drinking, it’s the fact that people have become dopamine addicts who constantly chase instant gratification. The system will never change because they (cooperations) make too much money.

Hm for me it kinda works. recently moved and here alcohol ist ridiculously expensive in comparison to before. I quit har liquor all the way and stick to a 0.33l beer on the weekend. But I also never really had a issue with alcohol, at least I think si

Advertising of alcohol should be banned like tobacco is.

Same logic goes for making drugs illegal. Ppl who want to use drugs will use them regardless of whether they’re freely accessible, affordable and legal or price gauged and a criminal offense. The only thing that changes is an increase in crime. Let’s stop stigmatizing mental health and get ppl the help they need.

I guess you don't have a Wetherspoons nearby. Pints can be as low as £1.69. I remember paying £2 back in the mid 90s. Though I admit trendier pubs are charging nearer £5 a pint. But if we weren't all drinking excessively then it wouldn't matter.

I'm not sure if it's the cost or simply the opening hours. As you said it would be difficult to find a place back in the day that opened after 11 on a weekend. You basically had to find a nightclub

Down under there is a term called preloading. People get drunk at home on cheap takeaways, then go out and hit the bars.

Same for most addictions like gambling and others.

Ditto. Many of us are just like that.

Ever tried switching to weed? It effect me the same way as alcohol but I don't end up with a hangover and I feel refreshed the next morning. 1 night of pot high destroy my cummulated work week stress the next morning.

@@ToudaHell I get paranoia if I smoke too much weed. Once in a while is fine but recreationally often, it just puts me in a weird shutdown mode. I get super quiet because I think everything I say is either offensive or out of sync with the conversation. It also gives me a shitty hangover where I feel like I’m brain dead for about 6 hours.

Yes. I find it easy to not drink. And I find it easy to have a drink followed by loads more drinks. But I find it impossible to have just one beer. Having nothing at all is far easier.

Thad be because it's an addictive drug

Not to mention on cigarettes there’s graphic pictures of deaths and there are warnings. And cannabis is presented as a really dangerous drug despite alcohol causing more deaths, both directly and indirectly from the way it changes our behaviour to do dangerous things. Crazy that our discourse refuses to acknowledge that alcohol is even a drug. In modern times, we claim that we are unbiased and we let science and evidence base our laws and progression of knowledge yet we brand alcohol as It’s ’just a drink’ and separate from the idea of class A, B and C drugs for example, despite changing brain chemistry, changing our behaviour as one of the most violent drugs and one of the biggest drugs that kills. Strange don’t you think? I think it’s odd that we put people away for using cannabis but allow people to get hammered from alcohol, dépisté all science and evidence pointing to cannabis being less harmful, both socially and physically. Alcohol causes violent behaviour and makes people do dangerous things which leads to death. Alcohol causes liver disease and can seriously harm your body. Cannabis, when using skunk with high THC content, has a very minor link, in people already at risk naturally, to psychosis. Other than that, if consumed by eating rather than smoking, there are no direct physical side effects. Furthermore, socially, cannabis (despite those it causes psychosis in), it makes people more chilled out, and more relaxed. But the U.K’s attitude and discourse: Alcohol: ‘it’s just a drink don’t worry about it’ Cannabis: ‘oh no the devil’s lettuce! It’s a naughty drug and messes you up!’

100%. Totally not because I'd like to see all the ingredients in a bottle of Jägermeister xd

Oh yeah, I totally agree. Same in the US, but instead of alcohol its a lot of legal prescription drugs. There's something seriously wrong with our current cultures on multiple levels.

No question. You guys' Iron Lady once said there's no such thing as society, only individuals. I don't think it was true then but I think it's slowly becoming true now. People used to live in small communities, they used to know their baker and their butcher, they used to visit friends day in day out, their work had an impact on their local community... These days everyone is alienated from their neighbours, everyone works so many hours for large companies that don't give a shit about them and they fill this void with empty consumerism and even more empty social media. But I don't think this is caused by culture or anything, I think it's the material conditions. You need two people working full time to buy even the smallest house these days and you're either working an incredibly stressful job or a job that is meaningless. You don't have time to raise kids, let alone bond with your community. You get home exhausted and then you still have to work to clean and cook... No wonder people want some easy escape.

Alcohol deaths is due to people starting to drink period and get addicted..all you can do is vote,raise awareness, volunteer to help causes and get on with your life! Don't become a puppet or weak because of this or that, if you don't like something get off your ass and change the situation

I would be up and out early on Saturday for a day of healthy outdoors stuff, possibly finishing in a pub for an hour. Still loads of energy for my Sunday. Meanwhile my pub-focused friends were nursing hangovers through the weekends, and never ended up with hobbies. They married pub-focused women, and now share long pub lunches / afternoons/ evenings at the weekend with their grown up kids. All very sociable, and nobody died.
