Watched the programe on gluttony, do u go ou to find out whats wrong, No just debate. we can see, we became gluttons on ale for 1 reason sorry 2, when the smoking ban came in. there was never a night to the pub anymore, rain sleet or snow, everyone was outside so the pubs were empty so they became boring, so we decided why go to the pub to look at 4 walls and talk to yourself, we can do that at home and stay warm then we found out it was cheeper,and you don¬t get gassed on the way in the pub or the way out, the goverment is to blame once again. i dont smoke but the majority of britain does, so if they got to be outside, thats where you are going to drink. I THINK TATS WHY YOU NOTICE THE WORLD DRINKING MORE hugh? think!
