  1. Alas: it is very likely the partying excesses of my generation which directly led to new #DUI laws being passed in the first place ( 2015 #England, 2019 #Scotland ) - unlike #alcohol where #driving impairment is obvious, with stimulant #partydrugs most people are safe on the roads after the peak of the drug has worn off but they are still awake/alert - what bites them in the arse is the comedown / sleep deprivation (there's even warnings about this in my books about motoring from the 1960s and 1970s!)

    So if folk are staying high until Sunday evening, this hits during weekdays and can (and did) cause bad crashes during rush hours (which ofc often involve innocent parties) - hence the clampdowns (EU wide) as soon as there was enough evidence to prove what was happening.. >>

  7. RE: noc.social/@todayilearned/1169

    It's very sad. And of course it's not about health. Countries with rich #Wine and #Beer cultures are drifting towards stigmatizing #Alcohol as if it was something evil, albeit people were drinking alcohol for thousands and thousands years. Of course it can be damaging, but as I like to say, a kitchen knife can be used for cutting bread, but some people use it for evil things.

  13. Late on a Sunday and my wife says "I know you've got work tomorrow but I really fancy a Vodka Martini."

    I make the best Vodka Martini on the planet.

    And now we're drinking them.

  15. if you live around Manchester or plan to visit it and never heard about Harcourt pub, this is a must go.

    founded by Hong Kong refugees, it is genuinely one of the best pubs I've been in over 12 years I've lived in UK. I'm not exaggerating. youtu.be/kW2oPcTykzY (English subtitles available)

    (yes I know it's not *really* in Manchester but in Altrincham - nonetheless, it's 100% worth travelling 30 minutes by tram from city centre)

  19. Q. does the £10,000 bar tab at the pub for Keir Starmer's gathering after he left No.10 last week indicate the costs of drinks in London, or how the political class is different from the rest of us?

  21. Loan schemes are like alcohol. We drink alcoholic drinks today; we feel calm today, but it is actually borrowing tomorrow's happiness and calm. The next day, we'll feel discomfort and other effects.

    In case an alcoholic reads this: Always quit alcohol under medical supervision.

    Quitting cold turkey can lead to complications like strokes, but likewise continuing the drink is not good for you either.

    But whatever you do, do not trust LLMs to give you adequate medical advice tailored to your situation.
