Friday nights are meant for a cool pint of beer or a glass of scotch after a busy week. However, some cities in Britain appear to have more of a problem than others with weekday drinking. The country’s hotspots for regular drinking have now been identified by merchants DrinkWell on a map. In fact, 4 out of 5 admitted that they can’t go a day without it. Here is the list of booziest cities in the UK.
Bristol, London & Manchester Are The Booziest Cities In The UK!
When it comes to residents’ drinking habits throughout the summer, DrinkWell, the reduced-alcohol brand, has ranked the worst cities in each country. In a study, it was shown that more than a third (that is 38 per cent) of respondents admit to consuming two or more alcoholic beverages every day throughout the summer, potentially endangering their health.
For the average adult, health experts recommend 14 units per week. Nevertheless, two large glasses of wine each day quickly add up to 42 units per week. According to a surprising 80 per cent of 18 to 25-year-olds, the problem of daily drinking is greater in the summer.

In contrast, Bristol has emerged as the top city in the UK for after-work drinking. According to DrinkWell, 81 per cent of Bristol residents drink a beer or glass of wine per day. Given that 75 per cent of Londoners drink every day, the city also ranks highly on the list due to its post-5 pm bar culture. The third one on the list is Manchester with 74 per cent.

Nutritionist Katie Chaplin commented on the findings and stated that routine drinking could result in numerous health issues. This includes weight gain because that cool glass of wine or cider would be loaded with sugar.
She further states that making simple substitutions and being aware of calories in versus calories out will help you minimise your calorie intake.
