INCOME, age, race and class have not been an obstacle to the undeniable right of any British citizen to drink alcohol whenever they want.
Despite the cost of living crisis, recession, rising housing costs and inflation, UK residents still manage to find the money to get drunk whenever they feel the need, which is often.
Professor Henry Brubaker, from the Institute of Studies, said: “Whether you’re downing six pints before a non-league game or killing four May tais over a bottomless brunch, Britain prioritizes getting bored.
“Despite our current challenges, it’s heartening that so many of us are willing to wipe out our economic future to attend Wetherspoon’s Curry Club and drink Strongbow Dark Fruits until we’re sick.
“This is Britain’s new stiff upper lip. It is quite possible that the only thing that all strata of society can still bond is their willingness to declare every night to be a drinking night.
“From the builder who doesn’t even change from his ‘hi-viz’ before cracking Carling to the teenagers sharing white cider in the park to the boomers blowing their children’s inheritance on the £24 bottles of wine that Sainsbury’s puts on the high shelves, we are united.”
Homeless man Steve Malley said: “When I hold up a sign saying ‘Hungry and Homeless’ nobody cares. When I say ‘Need a Drink’ the money comes in.”
