I watched the Adrian Charles documentary Drinkers Like Me and it thinking about my own drinking.
Maybe it's generation thing, but I only really drink on Saturday night. I don't drink at home.
So I guess I'm a binge drinker.

I miss the whole social aspect of going to the boozer. It's not the same anymore. People either don't drink or drink at home. Bad for you that.
I can remember going out on a Monday In the 80's and the pub been packed.
No football on or other sport on tv, just a darts team or a pool team playing. And a juke box.
People going out socialising.
Aye. What pisses me off these days in both pubs & restaurants is that you see groups of people not interacting with each other - just staring at those little screens on their mobiles.I miss the whole social aspect of going to the boozer.

I'm a bit all or nothing when it comes to drinking. Monday-Wednesday I drink absolutely zero, but Friday and Saturday I properly binge it - my reward for working hard during the week!!
But Thursday has always been my pub night. My girlfriend lives in Frodsham, Cheshire where they really do have two or three brilliant pubs that have retained the community spirit of old. Independent venues, nice ales and a pleasant social atmosphere. Sounds like these sorts of places are a dying breed around the country unfortunately.

This thread is rapidly becoming a confessional.
I've been underage drinking for almost 60 years.
I don't feel a day over 85.![]()

I was in Frodsham a few weeks ago, pleasantly surprised. However, my local The Railway in Hale is still as old school as they come, big fan of the place.
Drinks wise I don't drink Monday to Friday unless I get invited out with work but Saturday night is a big night for me with the cricket team usually. Never ever drink at home unless I have 'company' but that's only one glass of wine that aside I don't see the point of drinking at home!
I seriously doubt Hale, Frodsham or any other of these other posh Cheshire gaffs could hold a candle to Skippers or Pennine Rambler for community spirit.
I drink most nights( at home) and when I do it’s because I’m struggling to handle the fact Pennine has closed down. It’s broken me.
I drink to forget.
If Skippers goes I’m ****ed.
You know that advert about talking to your mates and it being a taboo subject if you're depressed and things? Well this thread is good.
I've been depressed and even tied a noose round my neck last year. I'm ok now but if anyone needs to say anything, they should do just that on here.
Sorry for being heavy, but as blokes we should talk![]()
