Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart. ~Countess of Blessington
An alcohol awareness group in England estimates that at least 502 million units of alcohol will be consumed over the holidays. That is the equivalent of 265 million pints of beer, 602 million shots of vodka or 286 million glasses of mulled wine drunk at Christmas celebrations at work and at home. Nearly healf of consumers in England believe they will be drinking more alcohol than is recommended.
These predictions are in a report released last week by Drinkaware, a British alcohol awareness charity. A random sample of 2,000 adults were asked about their holiday drinking habits for the survey.
Chris Sorek, Chief Executive of Drinkaware said that 602 million units is thought to be an underestimate of how much alcohol will be consumed over the holidays
