That’s cause we get extra extra special care from our loving neighbours… jeez, enough to make one blush
They must have seen your FB updates.
Raise the minimum price. That’ll fix it. (mehole)
Hahaha!
Seriously though, this country has a massive drink problem
So does Britain. In fact, though we may drink more I would say Britain has a bigger problem. They seem to have a lot more angry drunks
God yeah, unless you live in the Home Counties they drink as much, if not more, than we do.
You get 10% extra on your points if you take it in Irish.
You were given it because the Irish are heavy drinkers. In general. So when your high liver function readings come back they may be able to diagnose you with an alcohol related liver condition.
The truth hurts, I know.
.3 liters a year more than the UK.
Aw feck.
“2.5: Must do better”
I hate failing tests…
Ms Williams is well on the way to becoming professionally outraged.
constant denigration is just the price to pay for living on John bulls island.Irish is a synonym for stupid there.
question 1 is badly worded. i assume it’s meant to refer to how many ‘sessions’ you have, but technically it’s askign how many drinks you have.
Is nail-painting now part of the sobriety test?
So long as you don’t drink the nail varnish.
In my long years in england’s nhs, this has never happened to me. Very much doubt it’s standard practice.
Sure what would you expect from the english?
Genuinely hope that’s just an idiotic attempt at trolling.
Do you now….
When you questioned them about this policy, what did they have to say for themselves?
Ha! You mean approach it in a rational manner? And not post it to the Internet for outrage and attention? You’re new here, right?
+ .56826 Litres
Is that because you come from a country with a massive drink problem and that you more than likely binge drink regularly?
Bollocks. When you think of France, Germany and Austria I doubt the first thing that enters your head is countries with a massive drink problem, but the fact is all three drink more per capita than the Irish according to the OECD.
yep every day solidly starting with breakfast, just less binging
I lived in Germany for a bit – they drink a lot of beer, alright. But they don’t tend to get totally hammered like we do.
Excuse me.
I’m probably in the wreongf place. I’m looking for someone who’s sobeer.
Is it wrong to…hang on…
Is it righr ??
-Is it
ehmm…
What was the queschun?
The kwestion..
The thing…
what was it?
No, its not because you’re Irish. Its because alcohol related illness is a massive strain on the NHS, and they’re trying to tackle this problem.
That’s what you get for drinking in the queue
Been a customer of the NHS for over ten years now and have never seen this form.
Two options present themselves:
1. It’s now standard practice in whatever local authority area you’re in to issue the form to all new customers – perhaps as a pilot project or a specific attempt to hit targets on problem drinking.
2. You arrived at the doctor’s office with a stinking hangover.
Either way, I find it extremely difficult to imagine a scenario where one would be given such a form purely because you’re Irish. I also imagine it contravenes the Equalities Act
I recently moved to the UK, registered with a doctor back in Oct/Nov time and wasn’t given this. Not standard practice.
I got 16, do I win a prize ?
