hi I hold my hands up. I’m drunk. On the edge of being blotto. 100 percent challenged at the prospect of understanding the reasoning offered by Sheep2 in response to The Guardian’s article on drink sizes. Almost considering talking to the millennial fellow next to me on the topic of ‘Madame Bovary’ (which he’s reading). Ah I’m .. a bit worse for wear, I think. I think it’s ok. My typing seems sober. |

If it makes you feel better you're making more sense than usual, so Bovary on. |

I read books on my own in pubs. Please don't talk to me. I'm not in a pub reading a book because I'm lonely or as a converstiaonal gambit or to meet people. It's because I like pubs, books, and being on my own.

Almost considering talking to the millennial fellow next to me on the topic of ‘Madame Bovary’ (which he’s reading). Ah I’m .. a bit worse for wear, I think. I think it’s ok. My typing seems sober. As presented it's a very low quality experiment. The data set is too small. There's a big risk of bias in the pub selection. I'd be confident none kf the13 pubs are town centre volume pubs that rely on large sales of beer. They'll be mostly food pubs, possibly craft beer places at most, tbat already sell odd sizes. There was no investigation in to the drinkers that left. This is massively important. My suspicion is that they were high volume drinkers who wanted pints. If you lose Faceless, Rolling and Shenguin the average drinking of the bix would fall even if no one changes their drinking habits in the slightest. I was also very suspicious as it was presented as a10% fall in beer sales without accounting for those that went elsewhere. This overstated the drop in consumption.I As it stands the 'experiment'' was almost bound to succeed. By driving off the peiple who want a pint you are almost by definition excluding volume drinkers more than moderate drinkers. That doesn't prove offering smaller sizes reduces drinking so much as prove that if a pint is important to you you won't drink in a place that only offers small beers. To be fair the actual experiment might have been better. The presentation though was appalling. |

Perhaps we could get together sometime to discuss our mutual love of solitary reading/drinking? What are you reading at the moment? I'm re-reading The Stranger (or The Outsider) by Albert Camus. It really speaks to me. Are you free anytime next week? Is there are 'spoons near you? DM me. |

It's because I like pubs, books, and being on my own. I used to do this and was occasionally presented with this: Now I drink on my own and watch YouTube videos, much easier to ignore people with my headphones on. |

Headphones are the best.

I learnt something new today. Car vanity mirrors (sunvisors with a mirror in them) were originally designed to allow the driver to check his moustache when driving.

Strangely this is what I use mine for. The light that comes on when the mirror is opened allows adjustment to your moustache with ones moustache comb.
