Photography interrupts drinking habits
Research by the department of Anthropology at the university of Burton On Trent has revealed that many heavy drinkers have had their habits disrupted by the introduction of digital photography.
Dr. Jones said today that “many subjects in the study, who regularly spent whole weekends in smokey hostelries in drunken stupour, now feel the need to spend their hard earned ‘beer money’ on expensive pieces of glass and carry them to Malham at 4AM”.
He added, “Another side effect was that, like alcoholics, they constantly felt the need to buy more ‘kit’, such as the latest models of camera which they plainly don’t need”.
Concerns have been raised by the Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) who have seen sales of the guest ales they support plummet since Digital Photography got in the way of “all day binge drinking”, which is seen as perfectly acceptable when quaffing real ale.
To counter this movement away from liver damage and scirosis, we at 4togsblog have managed to combine our love of the amber stuff with image creation, ensuring that our smaller breweries stay open by taking cameras on “all day drinking binges” and drinking “well into the teens” of pints as often as possible.
Ade, one of the 4togs, said “I found myself driving to places like Whitby for the day, but once there and stood outside the pub, I’d realise that I had to drive back and could not have a pint. This really got in the way of my drinking habit and it was touch and go – the camera was about to be abandoned, but now we’ve discovered “pissed photography” I feel I can go on with both pastimes. It’s such a releif!”
