People choosing to stay at home and drink more and more apparently, which is tragic as it kind of defeats the object of drinking IMO, it should be a social experience.
You kind of wonder how much this will already affect our declining social skills and ability to interact with each other over the longer term too, it's already a big issue, try asking a stranger for the time (especially anywhere south of Crewe) and they're likely to phone the police (using their bluetooth headset)
One day we won't even speak to each other, information will be conveyed straight from our brains to a text message.
