Picking fights with knights

I've never met Great Uncle Colin and I'm not much of a rugbyhead, but congratulations are in order to Pinetree Meads becoming a knight.



Studying this picture of the responsible good bloke and his missus, I'm bemused at the state of pint glasses in the foreground. Not long ago, BERL defined binge drinking as just over two pints of beer equivalent a day. I dare BERL's economists to go up to Sir Colin and call him a binge drinker to his face.

Almost, but not quite. Berl defined harmful alcohol use as an average of 2 or more pints of beer per day for men (2 or more decent glasses wine for women). Somebody drinking 4 one day but none the rest of the week doesn't count on their measure.
