UK: Ladies, Step Away From the Wine
UK: Ladies, Step Away From the Wine
May 23, 2012 6
(Hereisthecity) - Last week, the Office of National Statistics reported that British women in white collar jobs drink 11.2 units of alcohol a week. That's almost double what our blue collar counter-parts are drinking. Apparently there’s more drinking than sex in the city.
Why? I’m sure it’s for a number of reasons: a drinking culture at work, stress, and oh, let me think...um, stress?
Now, I won’t get on my soap-box. I’m a firm believer in (responsible) social drinking. If I’m honest, I want to be like those fabulous Italian mamas you see who are quite happily quaffing wine through a toothless grin with their husband by their side in their '80s. (OK, maybe I don’t want to be toothless.)
