Beer drinkers
A brewery in the north east of Scotland has made Britain's strongest beer. It's 18.3% alcohol.

They reckon it'll reduce our alcohol problem.

I like that logic. I'm off to buy a 5 litre turbocharged car to save on fuel.

Should do it.
If it needs a third, I'll just smack him over the head with it.

Actually
the article says that one bottle is equivalent to twice the recommended daily alcohol intake.

So half a bottle of decent wine is about the same.

Except that half a bottle of wine doesn't seem that much.

18.3%? And it's a Brew Dog?
Well, Alcohol Focus Scotland can fuck right off. Brew Dog make fucking marvellous beers, and if they're worried about my daily intake then I'll share it with someone.

I see no problem with this.
Its in small bottles and expensive. No-ones going to buy a six pack are they.

Bizarrely
it seems that the tipple du jour amongst Shoreditch fashion benders is BUCKFAST.

Yes, Buckfast tonic wine, the drink of Glaswegian terminal alcoholics.

A most peculiar turn of events.

Same IQs as Glasgow chavs...
