31 HOURS OF NON-STOP DRINKING?

A europeon night club is hosting a 31-hour drinking marathon. The session will last from 6pm on Hogmanay to 1:30 AM on January 2.Boozers will be encouraged to drink cheap shots around the clock and prizes will be handed out for those who can stay standing throughout the promotion.

Last night, nightclub bosses were condemned by politicians and anti-alcohol campaigners who accused them of encouraging binge drinking. The 31-hour drinking binge will be held in the 300-capacity nightclub thanks to a special licence.

Barmen will pour free champagne, and those inside can rack up cheap rounds thanks to the cut-price drinks promotions on offer to everyone. Clubbers will get wristbands so they can go home for a sleep, then come back and "top-up" with more booze. Those who stay on their feet and drink for the entire 31 hours are expected to be handed DVD players.

Local councillor Sam Coull said: "This is ridiculous. I can't believe it's been allowed to happen.

Deaths Statistics show nearly 40 people drink themselves to death in Scotland every week - a 250 per cent rise in booze-related deaths in the last 25 years.

Holy fu*kin crap? Where the heck do I start? I mean- if the 31 hours of drinking isn't enough... what about that statistic? Nearly 40 people drink themselves to death each week? WTF? That's not just a problem epidemic if you ask me! Article here.
