    I wouldn't agree. It's quite the continental thing to have a glass of wine with lunch apparently.

    I'd personally be more using the "alcoholics" term for people who go out and get wasted Friday night-Sunday night.

    That's called binge drinking. I do this most weekends but I never drink during the week so I'm not dependent on alcohol which is what an alcoholic is.

    The lunchtime drink is still popular in the UK, I believe.

    I should have added "this isn't what an alcoholic is, but it's closer than a beer at lunch" in hindsight. A beer at work isn't as bad as having 10 pints on a night out imo.

    It sure is, especially on a Friday. It was a bit of culture shock for me in that regards. :D

    I remember a few years ago during a Christmas blitz on drink driving the guards nabbed the most people on the East link toll bridge from 12 to 3 they caught all the lunch time drinkers.

    So it goes on here as well.
