Surveys of people's drinking habits "grossly underestimate" the amount they consume by some 44 million bottles of wine a week, a charity warns.begins the latest nannying BBC article about alcohol control. I've underestimated by 44 million bottles per week have I? Really, I think you are exaggerating a little bit. I might have had a double vodka instead of a single but I think I'd notice all those extra wine bottles in the recycling.
Alcohol Concern says drinkers in the UK consume the equivalent of a bottle of wine per week more than they admit.No.
I.
Haven't.
Really. I know how much I drink and I'm not underestimating at all
It says this could be because they "forget" or underestimate how much they have drunk during heavy sessions.or maybe because people don't want to give cunts like Don Shenker any more fuel for their bansturbatory fire by telling them the true levels of their consumption?
The survey comes after figures from the Health Survey for England revealed 41% of men and 32% of women had drunk more than the recommended number of units of alcohol on at least one day in the previous week.Daily Units? FUCK OFF! JUST FUCK RIGHT OFF.
This includes 25% of men and 15% of women who had drunk more than twice the recommended maximum, which is 14 units a week for women and 21 units a week for men.Oh sweet Jesus. The recommended units for a woman used to be 21 and a man 28 per week and now they are trying to reposition them as 14 and 21 respectively. CUNTS!
The latest report was based on analysis from the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University. It found that the difference between survey data and actual sales data reveals 225 million litres of alcohol go unaccounted for every year.So the concept of cooking with wine or beer, in which the alcohol boils off, has escaped you? What about wastage? Does your survey ask how many opened bottles of wine or beer end up in the sewer?
Alcohol Concern's chief executive, Don Shenker, said: "If we underestimate our drinking levels, then we're underestimating the amount of harm we can expect to happen to our families, communities and wider society - as well as how much further we need to go to curb our excessive consumption.I wondered when the BBC would get to the cunt Shenker. We don't actually consume that much alcohol as a nation Don, compared to, say, France. It's what some, people do once they've had a drink that is the problem.
"Poor survey intelligence can result in misinformed policy."Maybe if you conducted a survey that wasn't intent on getting certain results?
"Any future government must get to grips with measuring the true scale and nature of this problem if it is to make a difference to reduce alcohol harms."As in - it's not a problem so we can stop all government funding to wankstain fake charities such as Alcohol Concern and force their employees out into the private sector to get worthwhile jobs? I look forward to that day with relish Don. I just hope someone is there to record the look on your face when you are informed that all government funding has been cut.

Who do these people interview for their figures anyway?
Have you ever been sampled for one of these nonsense polls? I know I haven't.
Perhaps they simply pull the figures out of thin air, like they did with the unit measurements?
They can jog right on. I know exactly how many drinks I have a week - I've just never been asked. Good to see the Christmas Cheer is alive and well. As for units - everyone must now surely know that these are just made up. I imagine some people use them as a daily target...

In LIVERPOOL? Shite THERE is the answer! The missing bottles are the ones that are getting NICKED.
Von Spreuth has got his maths upside down.
In Liverpool, they'd say they drink (say) five cans a day but shops only sell four (because one gets nicked).
I think Alco-Concern base their new spurious claim on the fact that people say they drink 4 but shops sell five.
Ok, I admit it, I've been over doing it recently, about 44 million bottles worth actually. That explains the steaming headache.
" 41% of men and 32% of women " now labelled as bingers. Wait until next year when they will declare that numbers have gone down as a direct result of their campaigning ( = Give Us More Money ).
Also look out for a flood of bingist news stories following the traditional holiday festivities, ammunition for the bansturbators in Labours last few months of waning power.

na. O.K then. They must be asking the scumbags as well. "Wher djoo nick yer beer like lad?"
But that is easy to sort out.
I go away for the weekend, I ALWAYS buy three cases of beer. (60 bottles), BUT I only drink TWO cases of them. If they do not ask the people whom I GAVE beer to how much THEY have had, then one case of beer is "missing".
Of course alco-concern are probably all to pissed to work that one out.
