    Has anybody watched this show yet
    Why is there so much focus on womens drinking habits
    and what seemed to be a nostalgia for when men were men
    and women were women????
    I'm 25 don't drink outside of a night out and nothing but vodka and be lucky if a I drink once a week but I enjoy it when I do it and have plenty of non alcohol activities

    I feel that this show was very condescending and seems to carry the message if you're a woman you should give up the drink because you can't handle as much as men and wish for the days where you had to wait to be escorted into a pub.

    There is a general feeling that wine is fine, nobody ever questions it. If you arrived in to work and said you had 6 cans the night before you are normally looked at as a touch of an alco, but if you say you had 2 bottles of wine it would be classed as a relaxing wind down to the workday despite them being pretty much the same alcohol content.
