00:00Maybe, maybe if there's matches going on, like football matches,

00:07Maybe.

00:08This is a question which is close to my heart.

00:11We, being doctors, yeah, drinking is bad for health.

00:15But, you know, that is also an unusual choice.

00:19But, yeah, it's better to have less drink.

00:21Nothing wrong in that.

00:23And, yeah, I mean, it should be controlled, drinking.

00:28It doesn't bother me because I don't drink.

00:31And you? Would you go for a big pint or a little bit?

00:35A little bit.

00:37No, I don't think that's the answer at all.

00:40I think the only way to stop drinking excessive alcohol

00:44is to do something with the pricing.

00:46I mean, today, more than ever, people are not going to the pub anymore.

00:49They go to Tesco and buy 12 cans of lager for nothing.

00:53So it's about 8p a pint or something.

00:55So what are they going to do?

00:57Go and sit in the pub for £3.50? No.
