N-aş putea, Doamne-fereşte, să afirm că sălile de curs sau biblioteca duceau lipsă de muşterii la University of Sussex, dar imaginile de faţă arată care era unul dintre locurile cel mai intens frecventate în campus.
Este vorba de barul organizaţiei studenţeşti (USSU), din această întreagă clădire (Falmer House) rezervată pentru tot soiul de activităţi extracurriculare.
Şi care erau unele dintre cele mai ieftine – în jur de £ 2 pintul (568 ml) – şi căutate băuturi? Berea, dar mai ales cidrul, după cum se vede din butoaiele stivuite în spatele barului.
Amintindu-mi de acest loc, iată şi două veşti bune aduse de criza economică pe ‘frontul anti-alcool’ din UK: volumul vânzărilor de alcool a scăzut considerabil, în timp ce taxele la cidru vor creşte, cu riscul de a urca pintul cu mult dincolo de £ 3.[Pentru toate episoadele din această serie şi toate postările de pe acest blog mergi la/For all the episodes of this series, and all the posts on this blog go to: Contents/Cuprins]

@ Gabi
That's an interesting position, but rather off-topic :-(
How about - as long as you are an anti-drug specialist - sharing some views here about how alcohol addiction could be cured?

si, cata vreme acesta este un serial in limba romana, cred ca putem reveni la aceasta limba, nu?
well, well ...vad ca monotorizezi atent, ca un profesor care ia lucrurile in serios.
cateodata trebuie sa fim toleranti cu cei care vor sa se exprime (cum le "trece prin cap":-))
ganduri senine,

I lived in Brighton/Hove for over 5 years; studied at the University of Sussex (and now I am learning Romanian!).
How I was interested to see this posting! Yes, I think most Britons ("Brits" you say?) drink too much, on average, especially Sussex students. I don't drink except special occasions. I can't see the appeal in daily or "binge" drinking.
@ Duncan Hill
I'm glad to find your little confession on my blog, which only adds more 'weight' to what I've been writing throughout this series about many Britons' relationship with alcohol!
As long as you lived five years in Brighton and attended the University of Sussex, you may now that I'm not 'exaggerating' with my accounts.

If you can already read Romanian, I will be very interested in reading your comment related to another episode of the current series:

Obviously, you're most welcome to offer other opinions, criticizing remarks, amendments, nuances, adjustments etc to any of my opinions about Britain.
You could use English when commenting on what I wrote in English, and try to practice your Romanian when giving your opinion to my blog posts written in my mother tongue! :-)
