Why do young women drink themselves to oblivion every night across Britain?
Daily Mail Online ^ | 11-09-10 | Laura Powell

Midnight on St Mary Street in Cardiff and everything is exactly as expected. Half a dozen young women slump in a gutter, men urinate outside a health-food shop and, as hordes stagger between nightclubs, someone lifts up a blow-up doll with a sex toy protruding out of it.

The street smells of urine and lager, police struggle to break up a fight outside the Walkabout bar and a paramedic bundles a comatose girl on to a wheelchair. But it's a quiet night for 20-year-old Naomi Jenkins. She has 'only' drunk three shots of peach schnapps, cider and three shots of Jagermeister (during a drinking game called I Have Never) and still feels 'a bit sober'. Her friend Hannah Freeman, 19, was punched in a fight and stumbles about swearing and searching for a bathroom.

'We only do embarrassing things when we're really drunk,' Naomi says. 'I kiss random men in the street and Hannah has had sex behind a chicken coop.' She screams with laughter as Hannah lurches unsteadily in the stairwell of Charleston Bar and Grill on Caroline Street (known locally as Chip Alley) and unashamedly urinates in front of us.

Why do young women drink themselves to oblivion every night across Britain?

What hope do they have in a country that is hostile to Christianity and is importing the rest of the world?

In fact...I found the article and the picture.

She's the one in the top photo, and she's also a couple more pictures down.

I have friends in England. Drinking is a national past time there. Hometown Pubs are very popular. This makes perfect sense to me if your parents are mild alcoholics and you want to party harder than them.

Public drunkenness is tolerated in England to a degree far greater than here, that’s just a fact.

And what, pray, is wrong with British men?

I have a vested interest in the answer, being one myself

Drinking is very cheap in Britain. Almost ridiculously cheap. And certainly cheaper than anywhere in America i’ve been to.

The girls in some of these photos have been at a night advertising 20p drinks. So for £1 or $1.50, they could have 5 pints of beer.

If that’s not cheap i’m coming to your local drinking establishment

I always wondered whatever happened to her.

I think Briton still has a version of this. It is just modernized.

Indeed. I am not aware of any bar, even in a college town, that flogs booze that cheaply.

I cannot begin to imagine what Dublin looks like on a Saturday night considering that the English think of the Irish as drunks.

interesting since they’re tougher on DUI than we are in the states.

The Laker’s fans are *ahem* imports.... but the guy with the red truck... that’s 100% homegrown.

Maybe we should just abuse the French. That’s safe territory.
