Was watching GMTV this morning, and the daily scaremongering was about binge drinking. When talking to the 'expert' (how do you get to be an expert in binge drinking without, well, binge drinking?) she turned to the camera with a know-it-all smile and stated: 'what a lot of people don't realise, is that alcohol is actually a mind-altering drug'.
Well...yes? When else do we generally think we're that amusing, attractive and clever, or that what that lampost really needs is a great big hug? When else to British people ever get over themselves enough to dance on tables and talk to strangers? Of course it's mind- altering, that's why we like it!
Also, another shocking fact, one in four mothers have allowed their children to see them drunk! Well...yes? What else do mothers do at weddings?
