In the past on the cut, if you drunk at all, you drunk at pubs. You might, God forbid, have a Watneys Party Seven on board; and occasionally you might take a jug along for carry out. But beer was the drink. Now, of course, we all drink wine. And gin and whiskey and I don't know what else too. Part of it the fact we can afford it; part of it's the social revolution in the country and the canals the last 25 years. Part of it is just boaters being tight the way we always have been. For a couple of pints in a pub you can get a half decent bottle of wine.
