Brits can't hold their drink wussies LOL.
Excerpts taken from an article about the amount of A & E visits made by Brits during the 1st week of the World Cup
New NHS figures revealed more than 297,500 people went to emergency wards across the country during the week ending June 15.
In that period England played their first game against Italy and the surge in A&E numbers could be linked to World Cup related-drinking.
It marked the busiest week for A&E wards since records began four years ago.
Prior to the start of the World Cup the country’s leading emergency doctor warned extending pub opening hours for the World Cup was "unwelcome".
Pubs and bars were allowed to open until 1am when England were playing matches that kicked off at 8pm.
Dr Clifford Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine, said: "British society does not deal well with alcohol, and as a consequence it pays a very high price in terms of lives damaged and healthcare costs.
A recent study found during the 2010 World Cup A&E admissions for assault that were linked to alcohol use went up by more than a third.
Id like to see the breakdown of areas i.e. the North where real men and women drink proper beer or the South & London where the shandy drinkers and cocktail crowds hang out.

Save the NHS a few bucks. Or not as drinking generates a lot of tax revenues.

And they had to wait till the World Cup to discover this 
. Just about any Friday or Saturday night in any town center in the UK could have proved as much.
Unless the UK has changed dramatically in the past 34 months that I've been away!

It would be nice if there was a non-sport oasis somewhere.
I did think the moon, but those bloody golfers spoilt that.
