No, Really?

Filed firmly under “No shit, Sherlock” comes this story courtesy of the Department of Health…

English holidaymakers are turning to drink on their breaks with the average adult consuming eight alcoholic drinks a day, a survey suggests.

Blimey, what a revelation. People on holiday drink more. Who’d have thought it?

As usual, the “survey” consisted of only 3,500 people (from however million who’ve been on holiday over the summer) and there’s no indication of the age ranges for the survey. So at best it’s “dip a finger in the water” guesswork.
