Brits like getting drunk? Stunning.
Happy New Year to all my fellow Morphies.
This story about a Labor Party Cabinet Minister saying Brits (or more specifically those of Anglo-Saxon heritage) "actually enjoy getting drunk" pops out at me for two reasons. First, I didn't know this was really news since pubs and drinking are such a part of British culture that the only comic strip from Britain that I'm familiar with (Andy Capp) features a Brit who is eternally stewed.
Second, I just wonder what would happen in this country if a government official made such a similar generalization about any ethnic (including whites) group. Thoughts?

I learned that Brits spend time in warm, dark little pubs to avoid spending time in their small, cold and dark homes. This would inspire me to drink, too.
