Alcohol the sad facts

**Billy Boy** · 02-28-2002, 05:59 AM

This is a report out today based on the UK drinking habits

90% of A&E admissions for adult males are drink related

In the UK we spend a whopping 3 billion pounds a year on alcohol!

There are 33,000 deaths a year in the UK related to alcohol

And people complain about rec drugs and AAS about time they reviewed the current laws I think

Moving onto the subject of "juice" how about this one?

The UK government charges 614% tax on petrol!!

For every £50 spent £43 is taken by the government!

Now I know why I want to move to the US

LOL ! Yes I have been lazy on my correspondance lately !

The foodstuff at Newbury's Market (I believe is the name) are incredible and not really that expensive. I got some scones from there recently that were only $2.99 for a dozen.

Wow Americans eat Scones? LOL

I,m impressed Canes and if you tell me you have them with jam and whipped cream(low fat of course) with Sunday tea I,d be even more impressed
