Posted August 3, 200619 yr In Preston (i think??) they are thinking of banning Verticle Drinking. so if you have a pint you have to sit down. they think it will stop fights in pubs and people getting bladdered are they seriously thinking of doing this?
August 4, 200619 yr How's it gonna stop people getting drunk....? :wacko: I suppose it might cut down on bar brawls, by the time it would take people to stand up (depending on how drunk they were) and go over to start a fight, there would likely be time for a bouncer to step in before anything happening...
August 4, 200619 yr the only way this could possibly work would be to have waitress service in all pubs. The majority of fights in bars aren't started just by people standing - but by people pushing and jostling to get a drink by the bar.
August 5, 200619 yr What bollocks. And it's easier to get drunk if you're sitting down anyway, rather than standing up.
August 6, 200619 yr Author What bollocks. And it's easier to get drunk if you're sitting down anyway, rather than standing up. how does that work? surely it depends how fast you drink it?
August 6, 200619 yr how does that work? surely it depends how fast you drink it? Well if I'm sat down drinking it makes me feel tipsier if I'm than stood up. ^_^ I dunno, something to do with the body being not very stretched out? :lol:
