The amount of alcohol people in England drink has been underestimated by the equivalent of 12 million bottles of wine a week, according to new research.
To summarise, I forgot to send in the form. Now they've got a fuller data set the estimate has been redone.

Those are soft drinks, my new best friend[^] is far more cultured.

Interesting, very interesting.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Can you taste the Watercress? Sometimes they advertise an "infused" flavor, but it ends up lacking.

Bum Wine - sounds appetising.
They didn't review Buckie[^] - surely, king of the wines of the delinquents.

It does sound a lot until you think there are some 50 million adults and so it's barely a bottle of Blue Nun each every month.

But it sounds more when you realise they've underestimated by barely a bottle of Blue Nun per adult per month.
Statisticians have had a good time recently, have't they....

I've checked. Our base point is 115 Blue Nuns per annum, rounded up that's a bottle every three days or ten a month. So the extra 0.75l of really unpalatable Liebfraumilch is neither here nor there.

That's way off isn't it?

Yes. That is for the UK and says 40 million adults (2011), guess English adults are about 30 million.

I think you missed the 10 million over 65. So If you take England with some 85% of the population, that's still over 40k drinkers!

Yes  And when you take into account none of those in that age range will live in Scotland then it is even closer to 50 Mil.

With a population of 53 million, that's about 1/5 a bottle of wine for every man, woman and child.

Of course - the forgot to take into account those who need something to wash the taste of Gin from their mouth.

In the news: Java's key to success is simplicity.
Now, that's a good one!
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

It's real complicated, unlike say EVERY DAMNED WEB "LANGUAGE" OUT THERE WITH ITS MAGIC BULLSHEET UNDOCUMENTED RRR ABOUT FACE SECRETS!
Yes Node and Angular, I'm looking at you two!

Wrestling with Knockout at this very moment and yes, JavaScript is really the lowest useless bit of junk. No matter what libraries you use.
Make one small change and it all falls apart for at least 20 minutes until all browsers and caches and IDEs can once more agree upon the current status. Interpreters were useless and slow 35 years ago and they have not gotten any better by throwing browsers into the mix.

I've been having moderate success using the Komodo IDE and running the server side with nodemon [it auto restarts the session on [or near  ] any file change.
But still, JavaScript could teach Dyson how to suck.
