I’ve added 30 yrs of excitement to my life ,after training,looking to do great physical things going into my 70 s ,after controlling my drink ,way much happier ,mentally ,physically,spiritually 🤩🏴
Update getting wkout s from a tri athlete ,,,it’s brilliant wanting to run marathon under 4 hrs when 60 ,,fittest ,strongest fastest I ve ever been (it pays to be unfit when younger lol) 5 k 23:40 mins 5miles 42 mins
I used to be pretty light hearted about drinking, believing 'work was the curse of the drinking class' and I only took on work for the sake of beer tokens. It was something to look forward to, work hard at something that I didn't enjoy or like doing to get my pay packet at the end of the week and then let the fun begin. That was the way of life, but deep down inside I knew I wasn't enjoying it, I was empty and miserable, not enjoying life at all. Yep, it stole my happiness, stole a lot of time from me and I paid quite a bit for it over the years. Now, having been sober for just over 11 years, I believe that for me drink is a ruination, there's way better things in life to be doing that are far less destructive and don't cost as much. And it's a far better way of life, one I never knew about until I stopped drinking.
i used to think alcohol was the only drug. when i discovered MDMA and ecstasy and alcohol seemed like a joke. weed and marijuana, were btter too, lsd interesting and ketamin too. all these little adventures. tried and lost to the past. happy nights.
Bigears Trenchcoat Sometimes wisdom is gained only through hard, real-life experience. You did it the hard way, but what's important is that you did it...and lived to tell about it. You should be an addiction counselor; you'd be very effective.
The saddest thing is… for lots of people, the addiction stems from childhood trauma or long term depression or even just general working class struggles involved in just surviving day to day in the U.K. This situation is even more relevant now in 2022 (after the pandemic) with many people struggling mentally and physically with its aftermath and with the ever growing financial struggles in the U.K for many. If people have little hope things will ever improve for them alcohol will always be there waiting for them, and usually less than a few hundred metres away.
This documentary is a bit a class. Insight and nostalgia from a time and a point of view that the modern world has scorned and belittled. These people for better or worse are no longer seen or heard in modern life. And to hear them speak about their way of life in articulate and eloquent terms is quite refreshing. They are people and not caraicatures and this documentary treats them right.
Wrong, in the citys maybe. But the village I grew up in is still the same, I walked into the local pub after a 20 year absence and the same people were sat on the same bar stools. I found it pretty sad really, now they look older than they should and some had passed away. Most of the village I now know are alcoholics
The way I look at my drinking now is like this. In my early 20's I could take a few drinks in stride. Even if I got really drunk I could still get up the next day and be somewhat functional. Now in my early 30's if I go out and get drunk I really have to have the next day off because it's going to be sofa and binge watching youtube or DVDs. The experience has diminished also quite a bit actually. It's not as fun and feels a lot more like a chore these days. During the two big Covid lockdowns I essentially had 9 months of complete sobriety since I don't drink at home and the pubs were closed, but once the pubs reopened I have gone back and it's just getting harder and harder to drink. It truly is a waste of money and it WILL catch up with you sooner or later.
Brought up in England I can well attest to the heavy drinking and unfortunate outcomes witnessed. One work buddy lost one of his feet due to a double decker bus running over it following a night of getting smashed. Another lost a leg after sliding into a ditch on a motorbike and getting gangrene, all through being drunk. And so many others just got lucky nothing serious ever happened. I believe heavy drinking, just like drugs, are used as an excuse to blot out gross unhappiness in life. Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.
The kid at 11:30 ended up becoming an alcoholic himself and he committed suicide as a result of the bullying he received from him and his mum being in this documentary, which he said ruined his life. His name was Lee Mulligan.
all because of this documentary, and the rest. Sorry but one documentary. The bullying couldn't have been the main cause. I was bullied at school, but it stops and you move on and you work and life changes. To link a bit of school life to his eventual death by suicide is catastrophic thinking at its worst. Now I think he may have been on the bottle and suffered from depression, but this may ve played a part but cause and effect. Black and white thinking. Sorry, he did what he did but he had problems other this I would imagine.
I drink at the weekends only, never a school night. My dad was a massive alcoholic in the mid 1990s, would be out in the pub till closing time and drink drive home, it made my life a living hell, lots of physical and verbal abuse/trauma, so I didn't actually start drinking until I was in my mid 20s. I know alot of people see this as the curse of the working class, but you shouldn't have too much sympathy for this man. Him and others like him truly destory their families' lives with their choices. My dad died in 2011 from liver failure, I was only 20 at the time.
There can be nobody who is not aware of the health implications of drinking,much like smoking. All the shock facts,pictures and documentaries in the world will not change the mind of the committed drinker ,or smoker. They can shut the truth out and genuinely convince themselves that they are the exception to the rule. My dad thought that. He is dead now. I Tew up without ever being able to call any body dad, that bloody hurts. I hate the stuff,not a drop will ever pass my lips.
@@olly_evans It was funny, when a man needs 4 pints or two gin and tonics just to function in the morning, that is an alcohol addiction. He thought because he drank expensive wine he didn’t have a problem, this is common amongst the older generation but I guess at that point it doesn’t really matter anymore
wet brain/wet brain//// scary you can remember going on holiday as a kidd but you cant remember what you did thursday 5 days ago..u try your hardest.but you cant ...remember../or you make a brew in morning go to pick,milk up knock it over ,or keep dropping soap in shower...slightly missing everything..the of to work..try stopping for 3 days if it hurts your dependant....
really great documentary. that mum and her boy was hard to watch and I'd certainly call it hard hitting. b aware those not in britain this is atleast 15yrs old.
My uncle's friend was promoted in his company, he went to the bar to celebrate with his friends. He was driving under the influence of alcohol. His vehicle was hit by another vehicle and he died on the spot. He had 2 kids. Never drink alcohol.
My mom was a strict teetotaler but went out drunk-driving with her boyfriend who did drink. She ended up disabled in a care home and as for her boyfriend we don't know what happened to him - he died or ran off or something.
I was directed to this video while looking for a very similar one; I would be very surprised if it hadn't been made by the same team. Instead of poetry written today, the drinkers were reciting prose written in what I think was the Victorian era - and it simply proved that nothing has changed in all that time. Can anyone tell me what it was called, and if it's available anywhere online? I can't find it on RUclips...

Had 37 years of partying going out drinking.. Great times out every night still went work the next day . Now I just like a wine with my meals now and again. Got other hobbies now I’m older …..
Here in the States, it's alphabet soup. DWVI Driving While Visibly Impaired, or E.S.L.D, End Stage Liver Disease. H.E. Hemapatic Encetholopathy or the T.I.P.P. procedure, boring a hole in the liver for a shunt to relieve hyper portal pressure. And of course there's the A,B,C's of Hepatitis. I could go on.
Well surely some of these people will end up yellow in the hospital and the doctors telling them they have months to live, only then will they realise they have wrecked their health, its going to be a very horrific realisation that was all avoidable.
"it's a man's pub"...a CAVEman's pub. Your wife left you yet? You see, "the little woman" needs company too, and alcohol consumption on that level isn't all that good for um, other "manly" activities.
Exactly that man You need to find a purpose in life, doing something purposefull that makes you feel good Drinking or smoking weed on your own at least on your own is to feel less bored when you’ve got nothing to do
I have been bing drinking for the past 20 years, I only drink once a week and I cab go for weeks on end with alcohol. Today is the day whare after a binge yesterday I realised that I have a problem with alcohol and I need to stop drinking
@@beardsgirl I'm an American. For many years I've worked in the Hematology Unit, Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, North Palm Beach, Florida. Our primary focus is end stage liver disease (Decompensated Cirrhosis) The condition of virtually all patients is the result of ethanol consumption. Medicine uses very few adjectives. However, with E.S.L.D. the word "insidious" applies. This documentary is from 2013. In the United States, one of the young ladies in the opening of this film would have come to see us by now. She would report "My side hurts in the morning and sometimes it hurts for hours" Then, we begin. Of patients in our unit, nearly half are women. Human beings are not designed to consume ethanol. For women, it's the most self destructive thing I can think of. The imaginary patient above, let's give her a M.E.L.D. score of 4. In a few years, her Meld score will be 18. She will come back to us and never leave.
@@iflick7235 now you've got me thinking about pains in the side🤔😂 you must see alot of the same thing happening. I used to drink quite alot hence I'm drawn to these kinds of documentaries however over the years I've drank less and less to the point where I perhaps drink every few weeks and that's only a few but I could have easily gone down the same path as some of these, it's not nice to see
Grieving mother is racked with guilt after her son's death by Ann Cusack daily mail A distraught mother has told how she blames herself after her only son was found hanging in front of her house. Tragic Lee Mulligan had been in good spirits celebrating mum, Jane's 60th birthday just hours before being found hanging in her garden. Troubled Lee, 34, had been struggling to cope with gambling and alcohol addictions. His grief-stricken mother, Jane, 60, is racked with guilt over his death after appearing with Lee in a hard-hitting BBC documentary about her own battle with booze, which she conquered over 20 years ago. Lee was secretly bullied and turned to alcohol to cope, after appearing in a BBC documentary about his mother's battle with booze at age 13. Pictured: Lee in the hard-hitting film She had believed the documentary was a positive experience for their whole family - but Lee had been bullied afterwards and secretly turned to alcohol himself, to cope with his turmoil. Jane says: 'I had always thought appearing on national TV was the best thing that ever happened to us. 'But I found out years later that the show emotionally scarred my son and he was bullied at school because of it. 'I went on the show to try to help and to heal our family - but it led to my son's death. I will never forgive myself.' Lee was Jane's only child and as a child was full of full and energy and was always on the go. She and Lee's dad, Terry, divorced when Lee was nine, but remained close. In 1998, when Lee was 13, Jane took part in a BBC documentary called: 'Drinking for England.' Jane, from Lancashire, says: 'I had a drink problem and wanted to get help. Lee was keen to take part in the programme too. I thought the documentary was a positive experience for us both. 'Afterwards, I was completely sober. I thought it was a turning point; I thought it had saved me.' Coroner Richard Taylor told the hearing that Lee (pictured) had trouble ridding himself of his addictions, determining his death a suicide. 😢
That's so awful and sad. Poor Lee, he seemed like such a sweet natured boy..which probably made him an easy target. We really need to teach our children empathy before sending them into the world. Praying that the mom has found some kind of peace. RIP Lee.
@@ShinyJess1940 You are so right. It is tragic, he seemed as you so say so sweet natured. My heart went out to him when I saw this documentary and felt so heart broken for him and his mother really. Poor little boy.❤
bl**dy h*ell, this must date from the 80s at least depite being posted 10 years ago, it's staggering how advanced Britain was then in approaches to substance and alcohol abuse and how advanced the terminology already was. good film for anyone still in any doubt ....
He victim's are always the children. The get scared for the rest of their lives. All children that come from a home where drinking and drugging are the addictions it will be Hell for them. They are open to all kinds of abuse internally and externally. They never forget all the bad stuff because there are never any good time's. ✌️ ☘️
"Drinking habits change as you get older, you probably need the drink earlier in the day" fuck me. Straight up alcohol dependence. "Two or three Jill's, to moisten the gills",
As a ex alcoholic I'm not gonna preach but even in my heyday I didn't drink like this...totally immature attitude to drink. .This will kill them..I responsible only pray they realise this before it's too late

There comes a time for everyone where the heavy drinking catches up to you.
And then overtakes
Yeps
It certainly does sir
Never a true word spoken sir
That's when you have to make that decision put the bottle down or go to an early grave. I'm 2 years sober best thing I ever did with my life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is the answer. I'm solitary and live with the consequences of a stroke, and am trying to ABSTAIN.
At 22 I drank ten drinks one evening as I missed my crush.

Thought provoking presentation of alcohol. Makes one sit up and pay attention. Better than the usual takes on alcohol documentaries. Effective!
Alco-docs.
This came out in '98. So many people in this must've either sobered up or died. Or both.
ive been trying to find follow up on that. I noticed it was 23 years old this year too, crazy huh
or they are still drinking.
I did both that year ,Hearts lift Scottish cup after a lifetime of waiting❤️
It looks even older. I thought late 80s early 90s.
I read the 13yr old died sadly.

Tragic Lee Mulligan had been in good spirits celebrating mum, Jane's 60th birthday just hours before being found hanging in her garden.
Troubled Lee, 34, had been struggling to cope with gambling and alcohol addictions.
His grief-stricken mother, Jane, 60, is racked with guilt over his death after appearing with Lee in a hard-hitting BBC documentary about her own battle with booze, which she conquered over 20 years ago.
Lee was secretly bullied and turned to alcohol to cope, after appearing in a BBC documentary about his mother's battle with booze at age 13. Pictured: Lee in the hard-hitting film
She had believed the documentary was a positive experience for their whole family - but Lee had been bullied afterwards and secretly turned to alcohol himself, to cope with his turmoil.
Jane says: 'I had always thought appearing on national TV was the best thing that ever happened to us.
'But I found out years later that the show emotionally scarred my son and he was bullied at school because of it.
'I went on the show to try to help and to heal our family - but it led to my son's death. I will never forgive myself.'
Lee was Jane's only child and as a child was full of full and energy and was always on the go. She and Lee's dad, Terry, divorced when Lee was nine, but remained close.
In 1998, when Lee was 13, Jane took part in a BBC documentary called: 'Drinking for England.'
Jane, from Lancashire, says: 'I had a drink problem and wanted to get help. Lee was keen to take part in the programme too. I thought the documentary was a positive experience for us both.
'Afterwards, I was completely sober. I thought it was a turning point; I thought it had saved me.'
Coroner Richard Taylor told the hearing that Lee (pictured) had trouble ridding himself of his addictions, determining his death a suicide.

That's so awful and sad. Poor Lee, he seemed like such a sweet natured boy..which probably made him an easy target. We really need to teach our children empathy before sending them into the world. Praying that the mom has found some kind of peace. RIP Lee.
@@ShinyJess1940 You are so right. It is tragic, he seemed as you so say so sweet natured. My heart went out to him when I saw this documentary and felt so heart broken for him and his mother really. Poor little boy.❤
It’s an illness and it’s heartbreaking
A problem drinker is one drink away from an alcoholic
48:28 wonder if the suited bloke was surprised when the fella next to film turned and pissed on his shoes whilst spouting poetry
bl**dy h*ell, this must date from the 80s at least depite being posted 10 years ago, it's staggering how advanced Britain was then in approaches to substance and alcohol abuse and how advanced the terminology already was. good film for anyone still in any doubt ....
He victim's are always the children. The get scared for the rest of their lives. All children that come from a home where drinking and drugging are the addictions it will be Hell for them. They are open to all kinds of abuse internally and externally. They never forget all the bad stuff because there are never any good time's. ✌️ ☘️
Wow is that really Duncan Campbell? The guy who's singing at the end?
What year was this filmed?
Are these real people or actors?
God I am lucky to grow up in the states where we don’t so this. It’s so hard to relate to. I can’t imagine it. It looks so awful -not fun at all.
What's the name of tune at @31.40
@28:55 that’s hilarious
not sure what year this was made but it's a bit like the 70's in terms of attitude to women.
I like a few pints of ale after work
Cant see the issue 3-4 pints 🍺 a day is no harm
Pfff that older dude is drinking a lot
brill😂😂😂
"Drinking habits change as you get older, you probably need the drink earlier in the day" fuck me. Straight up alcohol dependence. "Two or three Jill's, to moisten the gills",
@32:17 that’s a brilliant excuse….haha
What a wonderful father he had. Worse than mine.
Notice they all started early drinking....BAD Move!!

this is very sad
The music is weird
As a ex alcoholic I'm not gonna preach but even in my heyday I didn't drink like this...totally immature attitude to drink. .This will kill them..I responsible only pray they realise this before it's too late
Why tf is everything in verse?
I know, what could be worse?
England is grim.
