An Excellent, Entertaining and Educational BBC Documentary

Post by Palinka (RIP) »

Do spare 50 minutes to watch this superb documentary about Brtain and the British Attitudes and Relationships with alcohol; "Timewatch: The Rules of Drinking".

Enjoy and then amaze your drinking buddies with your knowledge of Alcohol and Social History!

Cheers!

really enjoyed this, very accurate to my knowledge too. Drinking culture needs more publicity to fight the neo prohibitionists who currently haunt the uk

I enjoyed what I watched. Need to finish the rest of it later. Like one of those miners I once went into a mine, maybe that's why I too like to drink. Ok! it was at the Black Country Museum but still as a miner ahaaaaaa screw it.
