Beer-Drinking Britons

Most of us are unable to tell the difference between expensive wine and plonk.
I certainly can’t.
Not after the second bottle, anyway.

My mate plans for the future by buying three cases of beer instead of one.

We spend over £30 billion drinking out every year in the UK, of which beer accounts for 40 per cent, wine 30 per cent, and spirits and alcopops make up the rest of the round.
Soft drinks account for £1.8 billion.

Carling remains the UK’s favourite tipple, with an 8.5 per cent share of the market.
One in every £12 spent on drinks in a pub, bar or restaurant goes towards a pint of Carling.
