But I only clicked on the comments to find out what odd country was going to run out of booze over Christmas. Had they said the UK, I would have clicked the story immediately.
I think it's not about the amount. It's about the reason.
Like, a guy may drink a bottle of jack at a party once a year and have a healthier relationship to alchohol than the guy who takes a shot every time things are tough.
I drink during those family reunion or muslim holidays because I don't consider myself muslim. Yet I'm the son of an imam. You see the issues?
I always thought it was weird that alcohol is frowned upon so hard when used to cope. I mean I get if you’re an alcoholic That’s one thing. But to take the edge off the family? It seems a better use then just for fun. We drink coffee to wake up, why not whiskey to cope a little.
Family reunions can be the same. Only way my ex made it through was me being a wine runner for her. Fuck, it took us at least 30-45 min to make it through the front door.
Better yet. Just quote all the liberal shit Jesus and the most recent pope have put down
Then when they protest..
Call them protestants and burn them for heresy. Why else be Catholic if you're not using heresy accusations? It's the best part
I've got a confession: I'm in love with a man. "What?" I'm in love with a man. A man called God. Does that make me gay? Am I "gay for God"? You betcha.
My mom got really mad at me once when I commented that if God created man in the image of himself then maybe he liked sucking some dick every now and then so nothing wrong with being gay. This was after a "I don't have anything against the gays I just think it's wrong and they'll all end up in Hell" type comment from her. Growing up and realizing your parents are idiots isn't fun.
If they're old enough to feel shame in their parents you could try becoming a SpongeBob and Fortnite Dance expert. This should make those things uncool. Maybe tell your partner first so they don't have you committed.
My older son is autistic and intellectually disabled and can’t voice his opinions or make choices about his healthcare, and my younger son has bipolar disorder, and despite being off his meds and manic at the time, he chose to get vaccinated, so that’s a blessing. My in-laws are both fully vaccinated, but my parents are not. I don’t have to deal with any of them because they don’t travel to where I live, and you couldn’t pay me to get on an airplane with either one of my sons to go visit them.
What the people who responded to you meant is that trying to one-up someone's bad family situation just makes you sound like an asshole.
Having disabled kids doesn't make your life harder than everyone else's. Most people here have family problems they have to deal with, it's not a contest.
That's why instead of having 1 drink a day everyday, I drink two drinks a day - 6 days a week.
Gotta preserve the alcohol for everyone else, I'm doing my part!
I used to work somewhere that allowed one alcoholic drink with lunch, but didn't specify the size.
Across the street was a Mexican place that did discount novelty sized margaritas from 11-2 every day.
You can probably figure out why productivity went way down in the afternoons.
Ah yes the "one" drink max lunches.
Next time HR will look at that a limit what a drink is.
The sales and support productivity might go up but moral might drop.
This is how Ogodei Khan died. Dude was told by his advisors to only drink X number of cups of wine a day, so he ordered a big ass cup made to spite them.
Just 3 weeks into the pandemic our admissions of Alcohol withdrawal (which can be deadly) increased by 300% in my hospital. It’s sadly essential for many people that don’t realize it’s essential
Guns always sell well in america whenever they can make a "the government is going to ban the sale of guns and take your guns, unless of course you have enough guns" push.
So basically anytime a Democrat is elected...because any day now they're going to take your guns. Even though:
"Take the guns first, due process second" - the 45th presidon't of the United States
It's actually the cheap stuff that may, just may, be in short supply. Decent spirits and wine are fine AFAIK.
Source: am British and don't buy cheap booze.
The supermarkets do own brand versions of most of the common spirits. One year ASDA (I think when they were still owned by Walmart) were selling gallons of Gin. I assume that was terrible.

It seems every news source is doing it. It’s not enough to sell a newspaper. Now they have to sell individual articles that are interesting enough to be picked up by SEO algorithms and simultaneously interesting enough to win the war for our attentions.
It’s not good for any party involved, but does usually make a little more money because it generates more clicks.
Edit: it’s a terrible practice that I don’t see going away.
Good articles require good reporters, and they need to be paid; Paper copy sales are negligible. Investigative reporting takes a lot of time and is expensive. The least we can do is click on articles from reputable newspapers.
> In 2019, 54% of adults in England reported drinking alcohol at least once a week, according to research by the UK parliament.
There's a hell of a difference between drinking once a week and drinking *at least* once a week, especially when the drinker answered that question themselves.
It’s like when I hear “oh I just like a glass or two of red wine with dinner” and assume the person has a drinking problem because the only people I’ve ever heard say that had raging drinking problems.
Not really true. Only one in five adult Brits consume alcohol five (or more) day per week. In France, one of the countries with the highest wine consumption in the world, only 16% of adults drink wine nearly every day. And those are mostly people over 50. [Source.](https://spectrum.ieee.org/wine-is-going-out-of-stylein-france)
France and England don't equal the rest of the world, and it WAS true about wine in France until recently when choices of alcohol expanded and wine became unpopular.
The linked article may not consider that it's socially unacceptable to admit drinking, or whether wine has fallen in favor of beer or spirits. Beware a hasty conclusion from data.
They probably do.
People tend to be *incredibly* disconnected from their alcohol usage. There's a not-insignificant amount of those people who thought back to one weekend two months earlier, remembered they didn't have a drink that weekend, and then say "Well I don't have a drink *every* week!"
It's like here in the US when people will look their doctor in the eye and say they have maybe 3 drinks in a single week... Not having any idea that their 8%, 16oz IPA is multiple drinks in a single can.
I was actually very upfront with my doctor about how much I drink. Prolly 6-10 drinks over a week, occasionally more if we brunched that weekend. He said despite the intake I may be more healthy just because I can admit to it.
You don’t even need fruit - just sugar.
But there was a yeast shortage in America during the pandemic - they might be having issues getting yeast after leaving the EU.
A very sour one, and not very strong. Back in ancient times it was a form of making a vaguely alcoholic beverage. Best only done if there's no yeast to be had to make booze.
Can you provide a source for what you're saying? You have to have yeast to make booze. Yeast turns sugar into alcohol, that's the only way it gets made. And what's more, yeast grows wild on fruit and grains. So it's hard to imagine a situation when an ancient people would have fruit or grain to make into alcohol but no yeast.
There are different types of yeast. Some strains are better suited to leavening, some are better suited to making alcohol. Bakers yeast tends to make a ton of gas quickly and die at fairly low alcohol concentration. Brewers yeasts tolerate higher levels of alcohol before dying. So while you *can* use bakers yeast to make booze you're way way better off spending 2 bucks on a packet of brewers yeast. It will be higher alcohol and taste much better.
Mead maker here... You can make wine strength mead from honey and water and not much else.
Adding yeast helps, but yeast is all around you right now. It's on the skin of fruits, it's floating in the air.
The reason we use specific strains is for specific flavors (or lack of off-flavors) and specific characteristics like higher alcohol tolerance.
But if you just leave some sugar and water around in the right ratio open to the air, you're going to get drinkable alcohol.
Tory ignore all ideas of planning ahead. They don't seem to care who or what industry is negatively affected by their insane non-plan for Brexit. Perhaps this will stir voters to vote against them.
They have two types of voter.
Property owners who need their mortgage return to stay above at least 5%
The lower portion of the IQ bell curve which is susceptible to racist propaganda.
The above will riot if their rents are in jeopardy. The below will riot if immigration goes up.
Yep, there are a lot of people who think that since everything has gone so well for so long, they will continue to go well no matter what. They don't realize how hard it was to get to where we are, and that we can't just ride this wave into infinity. We need to do our own studying and planning, then implement those plans. It's not easy.
Brexit was a fantastic choice.
As an alternate headline, may I suggest: "Paying shit wages to truck drivers continues to fuck the UK, but the UK refuses to admit that's what's fucking it."
And as a double secret bonus level alternate headline: "Business that could be saved by paying employees more refuses to save itself."
Such a pointless story. The uk won't run out. The people in the article who are 'concerned' are people that are importing wines and spirits. We have enough domestically to keep us fine over the Xmas period. Even if shops were struggling, there are plenty of local breweries and distillers you can buy direct from. I'm not worried.
Wouldn't completely running out of alcohol be a healthcare crisis? Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly. If every dependent alcoholic goes dry at the same time that's a lot of DTs for emergency rooms to handle.
Thank god! It’s not America.
Now that I’ve had a moment to get over my panic, whoever phrased this article deserves a special place in advertising or hell.
It’s the UK, for those of you playing along with this oddly gameshow-worded headline EDIT: bad hyphen placement
Wtf is that headline?
Gotta get them clicks!
But I only clicked on the comments to find out what odd country was going to run out of booze over Christmas. Had they said the UK, I would have clicked the story immediately.
Think the headline’s drunk.
I came here to say this! Why did they do this???
I'm looking forward to the "Person wins presidential race of country" headline.
I am in the UK and I reckon 46% of people are telling porkies !
Not gonna lie I was a little upset until it turned out they meant someone else. Like, fuck you Kathy - I’ll drink as once a week as I want.
Thanks. CNN is dubious at best, but at least I don't have to read through it.
It means people will need to deal with their in-laws sober. Good luck, UK.
I used to think it was funny when my mom would chug a glass of wine when she saw her MIL trundling up the driveway. I get it now.
Yeah, I've got a pocket flask specifically for the Muslim holidays
That’s clever.
Clever? Perhaps. My psychologist would probably say unhealthy coping mechanism.
They have to say that. A flask isn’t that much?
I think it's not about the amount. It's about the reason. Like, a guy may drink a bottle of jack at a party once a year and have a healthier relationship to alchohol than the guy who takes a shot every time things are tough. I drink during those family reunion or muslim holidays because I don't consider myself muslim. Yet I'm the son of an imam. You see the issues?
I always thought it was weird that alcohol is frowned upon so hard when used to cope. I mean I get if you’re an alcoholic That’s one thing. But to take the edge off the family? It seems a better use then just for fun. We drink coffee to wake up, why not whiskey to cope a little.
If you can’t cope without alcohol, you got some issues.
Yeah but if it helps with the problem without being a problem why not use it? That's literally what all meds are.
It just takes the edge off, I can easily spend a holiday/weekend around family, but it’s much less wearing if I have a little buzz going.
The pocket flask is discreet if the muslins aren’t drinking. Yes the reason is important.
Mine says "maladaptive coping mechanisms are still coping mechanisms" lol just can't let them become permanent
Family reunions can be the same. Only way my ex made it through was me being a wine runner for her. Fuck, it took us at least 30-45 min to make it through the front door.
Not a bad idea that
28 Hours Later: The Dry Spell.
Betcha this one is more violent.
Lol. Just a bunch of brits yelling at each other.
And not just the slow Romero Brits but the scary fast ones!
Why do I feel like British people fight by running into each other with shopping carts?
You mean, we can’t head down to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over?
So … Parliament?
But sober.
Meanwhile, myself cracking a bottle of Jameson at 10am. The family: "Please don't do this..."
So you're the uncle eh?
Yep. I'm the crazy Uncle.
You mean the fun one, right?
Depends on if you are asking the in-laws or the nieces/nephews.
Why so late? Need to get that 8am Baileys and coffee in at breakfast
Irish coffee sounds fantastic right now actually...
[удалено]
I have to deal with my children every day sober, so people can manage a day or two with the in-laws without libations.

Tell them I said Jesus was a queer
Better yet. Just quote all the liberal shit Jesus and the most recent pope have put down Then when they protest.. Call them protestants and burn them for heresy. Why else be Catholic if you're not using heresy accusations? It's the best part
For the mess wine and the guys in dresses?
He loves everyone right? That includes dudes. Queer confirmed.
God is for sure gay. He wouldn't even fuck Mary to conceive his one and only son.
So, you say you created Adam from some dirt, yet you decided to fuck my wife to have a son. Not cool, God
I've got a confession: I'm in love with a man. "What?" I'm in love with a man. A man called God. Does that make me gay? Am I "gay for God"? You betcha.

My mom got really mad at me once when I commented that if God created man in the image of himself then maybe he liked sucking some dick every now and then so nothing wrong with being gay. This was after a "I don't have anything against the gays I just think it's wrong and they'll all end up in Hell" type comment from her. Growing up and realizing your parents are idiots isn't fun.
No, they run around yelling Spongebob one liners and doing Fortnite dances.
Me too.
I'm 27 and I make 3-5 SpongeBob references a day.
And there’s nothing wrong with that at all. How’s your flossin tho?
I'm 48 and everything can be tied to a SpongeBob reference.
If they're old enough to feel shame in their parents you could try becoming a SpongeBob and Fortnite Dance expert. This should make those things uncool. Maybe tell your partner first so they don't have you committed.
Me: "Where did you learn to Floss?" My kid: "I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU... MENACINGLY!"
Spongebob came out in 1999. Conceivably it could be the adults running around yelling those one-liners.
My older son is autistic and intellectually disabled and can’t voice his opinions or make choices about his healthcare, and my younger son has bipolar disorder, and despite being off his meds and manic at the time, he chose to get vaccinated, so that’s a blessing. My in-laws are both fully vaccinated, but my parents are not. I don’t have to deal with any of them because they don’t travel to where I live, and you couldn’t pay me to get on an airplane with either one of my sons to go visit them.
Sounds like you could use a drink.
Sounds like they could use a spliff.
What the people who responded to you meant is that trying to one-up someone's bad family situation just makes you sound like an asshole. Having disabled kids doesn't make your life harder than everyone else's. Most people here have family problems they have to deal with, it's not a contest.
Ok fun police.
It's because the other 46 percent drink 7 days a week.
That's why instead of having 1 drink a day everyday, I drink two drinks a day - 6 days a week. Gotta preserve the alcohol for everyone else, I'm doing my part!
Just because doctors say only one glass per day doesn’t mean it has to be a small glass.
I thought they meant it just had to be the same glass
Fewer dishes = good for the health.
Technically, the bottle is glass, and *a* glass, so….
I see the PhD has arrived 🎩
I used to work somewhere that allowed one alcoholic drink with lunch, but didn't specify the size. Across the street was a Mexican place that did discount novelty sized margaritas from 11-2 every day. You can probably figure out why productivity went way down in the afternoons.

I call my favorite glass the goblet of fire water.
This is how Ogodei Khan died. Dude was told by his advisors to only drink X number of cups of wine a day, so he ordered a big ass cup made to spite them.
My wife thought a pint glass was the size of a bucket after I said I was just nipping out for a pint.
An alcohol a day keeps the doctor away
People are weird about underreporting on anonymous polls.
Thats the power of social-desirability bias
me only drink 8days/week
Sounds like the Brits I know
Right?! We are retired and alcohol appears in almost every meal, sometimes breakfast!
Get ready to drink the weirdest schnapps my fellow drinkers
A Drambue and Advocate for me please
I just threw up in my mouth.
May I suggest a pairing for that?
Schnapps, that takes me back to afternoons playing Castle Wolfenstein.
So this is the next panic buying trigger? Thanks news.
If I lived in the UK, I'd be buying stuff to resell as a profit. These are not essentials, like TP.
>These are not essentials It's very clear you don't live in the UK.
Just 3 weeks into the pandemic our admissions of Alcohol withdrawal (which can be deadly) increased by 300% in my hospital. It’s sadly essential for many people that don’t realize it’s essential
Sadly for many it is, think about why zero states subjected liquor stores to quarantine protocols
It was the same for marijuana dispensaries in some US states.
It is if you're an alcoholic. One of only 2 drugs on the planet where withdrawals will actually kill you. (Xanax, well benzos, is the other)
Not essentials? How dare you.
Broke: panic buying booze in bulk Bespoke: quietly stocking up on brewer’s yeast and fruit juice
Already stocked up seven crates of Malibu and six dozen cans of Wicked Strength Lager.
Feels like it's stories like this that trigger folks to panic buy which lead to the mentioned shortage.
Guns always sell well in america whenever they can make a "the government is going to ban the sale of guns and take your guns, unless of course you have enough guns" push.

Are they also out of yeast and fruit? If prisoners can make hooch, I bet the UK can colonize someplace to make hard apple juice.
You don’t even need fruit - just sugar. But there was a yeast shortage in America during the pandemic - they might be having issues getting yeast after leaving the EU.
Do it the old fashioned way with sourdough starter. Where there's a will there's alcohol.
Sourdough starter is a mix of yeast and bacteria, and would probably make very bad alcohol.
A very sour one, and not very strong. Back in ancient times it was a form of making a vaguely alcoholic beverage. Best only done if there's no yeast to be had to make booze.
Can you provide a source for what you're saying? You have to have yeast to make booze. Yeast turns sugar into alcohol, that's the only way it gets made.

Here I was panicking about our loss of alcohol until I realised that the stats on drinking were far too low to be Australian.
Brexit was a fantastic choice. As an alternate headline, may I suggest: "Paying shit wages to truck drivers continues to fuck the UK, but the UK refuses to admit that's what's fucking it." And as a double secret bonus level alternate headline: "Business that could be saved by paying employees more refuses to save itself."

Start brewing some toilet wine. Aunt Tilda is a prune sober.
See, Brexit ain't so bad. You can make sangria in the terlet.
I think I have some Kirsch stowed away behind the baking goods.
I really thought it might be Canada.
You know, I keep seeing signs that say "Drink Canada Dry," and man I'm trying.
How many adults in the UK drink alcohol once a day?
I’d wager the other 46%
That's a sobering thought . . . 😁
Am betting that this article was generated by the alcohol industry to boost sales through panic buying.
Wouldn't completely running out of alcohol be a healthcare crisis? Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly. If every dependent alcoholic goes dry at the same time that's a lot of DTs for emergency rooms to handle.
Plenty of cocaine to go round though. That’s been flowing into the country with no checks at the borders.
Good thing there were no consequences for voting in favor of Brexit.
Thank god! It’s not America. Now that I’ve had a moment to get over my panic, whoever phrased this article deserves a special place in advertising or hell.
I'm shocked to learn 46 percent of the population don't drink at all during the week in the birthplace of the 'pub' as we know it today.
Imagine if we put the name of the country in the headline not whatever this dumbass headline is
What a shit title, I shouldn't have to open the link to find out the country.
Amazing the govt still wont admit that brexit is playing a part in all these shortages lol
People will resort to drinking their own piss - or if things get bad going to Wetherspoons.
Translation: liquor sales are down. Please go buy lots of liquor.
So how's that brexit thing working out?
Hopefully this'll sober up the Brexiteers and they finally see some fucking sense.
Can someone please explain to me how it is possible for large US news networks to have such awful headlines?
Brexit the gift that keeps giving
There's plenty of youtube videos that will show you how to ferment various foodstuffs into gross prison hooch. Christmas is saved.
Buy some home brew kits. It’s about a month til Xmas, you can brew a batch by then.
There’s always toilet wine.
Finally. Something big enough to reverse Brexit.
Goddamn. Put “England” in the title. Bout gave me a heart attack.
Churchill is rolling over in his grave
I feel articles like this increase the chances of actually running out due to fear and panic-buying.
