  Kids aren’t alcoholics like the older generations. The rest is capitalism moving chairs on a sinking ship.

    The pandemic probably also caused quite a few to go under.

    It’s too expensive to be an alcoholic these days. The sin taxes did their job.

  I don’t have a local because it simply costs too much to go to a pub regularly. There’s plenty of third places if you’ve got loads of disposable income.

    If I want to go to the pub with my partner and have one drink its nearly £16.

    What used to be a weekly visit has now become monthly at the most and usually not at all any more, we simply cannot afford it.

      I saw a thing a few weeks back about people not buying rounds anymore. I can’t imagine why…

  A 3rd space without alcohol and monetary association would be better.

  Clearly this is because of the Muslim invasion of the UK.

  Obvious /s.
