British Public Accused Of Cosying Up To The Drinks Industry

The British public has been accused of 'cosying up to' the drinks industry in a damning report by medical experts.

They found that the average Briton had at least 130 meetings with alcohol lobbyists - or 'bar staff' - over the festive period.

The result, says the investigation, is that Britons changed their plans to care about minimum alcohol pricing because "they'll pay anything to get drunk - even £4 a pint, in London."

"They are dancing to the tune of the drinks industry," one senior doctor told HuffPost UK Comedy. "And that tune is 'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk."

Most Britons indulged in "deplorable practices... like going to the pub," says report
