00:00Maybe, maybe if there's matches going on, like football matches,
00:04because we will get violent and start smashing things.
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.
