Is it still “pre-loading” to enjoy a couple of cheap beers at home without going out?

So I’m at home eating a couple of oeufs-en-cocote and some cheap Tesco Vratislav lager – which I am very happy to drink especially since Michael Jennings’ discovery that Vratislav is OEM‘ed Staropramen which is a very respectable beer indeed.

But now I am looking at my bottle and wondering: at 99p per 500ml bottle, am I now one of the louts that Theresa May has set her sights upon for my own good and for the good of the nation.

The bottle says “2.5 UK units” – horrors! I am not enjoying a drink! I AM PRE-LOADING!

I am underpaying by all of £0.01p!

I must go smash up a shop or something, I’ll have to check my calendar and schedule it. Perhaps in June when it’s warmer?

    In the US there is “pre-gaming” in which you drink at home or a friends house before you hit the bar/club in order to save on exorbitant drink costs. Is this the same thing? Didn’t seem like it from the video.

    1. Same concept, but currently being hyped as a social ill in the UK where nobody has really cared at all, before…
