Drinking Culture | David Mitchell's Soapbox

submitted by DerHasisttot

1 decade 3 years 3 months ago

This week, David talks about the country's problem with its drinking culture; but not in the way of 'Broken Britain's Wild Teens In Booze Binge Shame Shock', rather like having a nice glass of wine at a party, or a pint in the pub.

"Yes son, you'll be a british cynic who grew a beard and rants about first-world-problems."

Remember when these used to be funny?

You mean the comments?

No, Mitchell, nonononononononono. That beard... *turns head away in horror*

David Mitchell is one flannel shirt away from being able to blend perfectly into 1970's rural Canada.

While this wasn't particularly funny, I really feel his point. As someone who doesn't drink I can tell you it's a huge social hurdle. Either you stay home from the bar and guarantee boredom or you go and end up isolated in your friends' presence because nobody can relate to you.
