We are working late hours? Let's get a drink to console ourselves. We aren't working late? Let's celebrate with a pint.
It's cold out? Nothing like a drink inside a warm pub - what else is there to do! Warm out? Grab a pint outside a pub to enjoy the weather.
Sports are played in pubs. Work meetings are held in pubs. Dates are held in pubs.
The thing about the British pub culture is they have a little rhyme that goes "eating is cheating"... Which means that people go straight to the pubs and drink themselves silly without dinner (except for those sneaky Brits that grab pret sandwiches on the way and try not to tell anyone). This is the worst rhyme ever (especially if you are a Portuguese colleague who values a long dinner the way some of is value our iPhones... Or tv shows like Breaking Bad)
"Eating is cheating" is the cause of events like this. In the tube station.
Yes, that man is sleeping on a stack of newspapers. Soundly. Guess a good pint is better than Advil PM?
