I'd say that this country, UK, has a huge alcohol problem. More than anyone would like to admit
I was in London about five years ago a day I was amazed that the pub was full of office workers on their lunch break throwing back as many pints as possible before heading back to the office. And I was told that was socially acceptable. So I guess the culture makes it hard to quit?
