British Beer

I found this article in last Saturday's Financial Times interesting.  The story is worth reading if only for the quote below from Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) co-founder Michael Hardman:

“Everybody’s different. I reckon if my mother-in-law drank 14 units a month she’d be dead, she just couldn’t take it. If I had to cut down to 14 units I’d be dead, because I’d be bored stiff,” growls Hardman.

I am guessing units are pints.  The article did not do much to change the impression that Camra is just a bunch of rocky middle-aged men.
