Give it a year and the frenzy of the relaxation on the drinking laws will be long forgotten. Alcohol has long been a feature of the UK as this article in the Independent explains - from the Nordic ales, the 30 year gin epidemic through to the restrictions of World War I.

"No one is really sure how the British love affair with alcohol began. Stone Age beer jugs have suggested that we were intentionally fermenting alcohol as early as the Neolithic period, 12,000 years ago. Since there is no evidence that we drank it with straws - which the Egyptians did 6,000 years back - that means we probably filtered the wheat husks out with our teeth. We have always been a sophisticated nation when it comes to drink."
