New rules, expected to come into play this year after being approved by Parliament, would ban speed-drinking competitions and all-you-can-drink offers.

    Drunk Brits are soooooo annoying...

    I had to charge my customers 2 guilders for a glass of tap water. Same as a glass of coke. It's ridiculous.
    Tap water and bottled water just doesn't taste the same, and at least in Holland, I liked tapwater better...

    I lived in Britain for a while. People are not going to be happy if this goes through.

    I guess Britain is getting tired of being number one in alcohol consumption. :lol:
    That's right people, despite beer being a part of Canadian, American and German culture, Brits drink more per capita than any other nation.

    No, lots of nations below us, I just cut if off there. With so many people not able to handle their booze, I'm not sure it's a ranking we really want to move up in. Europeans seem to handle their booze much better. (Not counting the English)
