00:00I'm quite neutral, to be honest. If people want to drink less than a pint, fine. If you want a full pint, it should be your choice.

00:07Well, we don't really drink lager, but I think it would be a good thing.

00:13I think there's definitely a problem with alcohol consumption, yeah.

00:16Are you in support of this? Do you think it will help healthier consumption of alcohol habits?

00:23No, they just drink more. Not that daft.

00:28I think it's a good idea, as long as the price goes down in proportion.

00:33Yes, and the price goes down with the lager.

00:36Yeah, but people should be able to judge how much they drink themselves, but I think guidance isn't a bad thing.

00:45Do you think, you know, compared to other European nations, do you think it's worse or on par?

00:51I think, I don't know, from when I've been abroad, I don't see the drunkenness that I see here, so yeah, probably it is bad here.
