E40 Why Do Brits Drink So Much? - Advanced level English learning podcast
Manage episode 471689674 series 3577242
🇬🇧 Why do Brits have such a reputation for binge drinking? 🇬🇧
In this episode of English and Beyond, César and I dive into British drinking culture, exploring why nights out in the UK start and end so early, the historical reasons behind our binge-drinking habits, and how it all compares to nightlife in Spain. 🍻
From pub culture to the impact of World War I alcohol laws, I share my own experiences of clubbing in London and why the contrast between British and European drinking habits is so stark. Plus, César gives his perspective as a Spaniard who has lived in the UK, and we ask:
👉 Does Britain’s "stiff upper lip" culture contribute to heavy drinking?
👉 Are Brits really the worst binge-drinkers in Europe?
👉 How do history, licensing laws, and social norms shape the way we drink?
This episode is perfect for advanced English learners looking to improve listening skills while diving into an interesting cultural discussion.
