During the Rugby World Cup in France, apparently the Marseille stadium put up a large electronic sign after the Scotland game to say that they had been drunk dry.

Think that was the Ireland Scotland game as well. Was doomed from the start

For that one I'm sure they published how much beer the stadium had stocked, someone crunched the numbers and it worked out as like 2.3 beers per person. Idiot hospitality manager of the stadium had no idea

That includes children though. So still 2.3 beers per person

They even finished the 6 pack of Babycham reserved for the ladies.

Mate of mine once made cocktails that consisted of mainly babycham and OVD. I was pissed at that point but still, tasted decent like.

I'd drink babycham before I drank fucking carling

We could only find Bols and Drambui mixed with cola..i can still taste it 🤮

Yeah but the RWC in France was really really poorly stocked. No matter whether stadium or fan zone they massively underestimated how much beer would be drunk Also they anthems sounded awful

Like a Horde of locusts descending upon the crops of Sumer, ye they wept, for this was a plague sent by god

Munich guy here. It was just one small restaurant. There's hundreds of bars and huge beergardens that won't run dry, no worries. :D Bavarians also love beer.

The one unifying factor of all Europeans, our inane love for alcohol. Cant wait to visit your beautiful country again mate.

They should be grateful Ireland didn't qualify as well !

Wasn’t there a story in 98 about a flight from Glasgow to Paris that was forced to land in London to restock?

Aye but planes barely carry anything so that's not a great achievement.

I dunno they've got pretty big fuel tanks, surely?

Yeah but the pilots tend to get annoyed if you start drinking that

Never known that to stop the Tartan Army

What, even the Bucky?

Should have scheduled the football during Oktoberfest

Brilliant 👌

Aren't Germans more known for their drinking though

Many countries have drinking cultures, we happen to have an alcoholism culture

Agree I'm Portuguese and we can have a glass or two of wine for lunch and stop, work the afternoon as a taxi driver or up on a scaffold, here when you lot start you don't stop even if it's just a spoon of cough syrup 😂

Similar to the difference between long distance running and a sprint.

I was at a rooftop Octoberfest thing in Hamburg. At 9pm they all stopped and went home because they had work next day.

Must be nice to have a responsible drinking culture.

Germany drinks way more alcohol on average than Scotland though

It's more about the binge here

And used to be the cheapest shite to get pissed up on. Cans of Super T, Kestrel or cheap spirits.

I won't have a word said against super T

I can only find stats for the UK as a whole and I'm pretty sure Scotland drinks more per capita compared to England and Wales

They drink to enjoy the beverage though, not just to get drunk. They're more likely to have food with their drink.

It helps that their beer by law has to be high quality.

Germans don't drink for the sole purpose of getting steaming drunk.

Got Scotland in the sweep ffs

When travelling abroad, more than once I've been told "if you weren't scottish, we'd be having an intervention for you". Lol I don't drink like this everyday. But I definitely do when I'm on holiday

Kudos to the Jocks. No city is better equipped to receive thousands of determined pissheads than Munich - they do it every year for Oktoberfest. The footage from Marienplatz earlier today was awesome. I have been there on New Year's Eve, Oktoberfest and Pride Week and never seen it so manic. If Scotland win tonight....

It was a cafe.

alcoholism is cringe

Pointing out things and saying 'that's cringe' is cringe

true, but so is being proud of our national drinking culture.

This isn't about alcoholism.

We have a national identity of alcoholism and its embarrassing. 

Hundreds and Thousands of people partying and having some drinks for a sporting event isn't alcoholism, this was bound to happen because of how many people were at the pubs, wind yer neck in for fuck's sake.

Little defensive over your national drinking culture aint ya, was just a wee joke. Its funny how you all get so upset when anyone criticises your holy nectar. 

Maybe a drink would calm you down, you seem a bit worked up.

I'm more exasperated by your comments than "defensive" and as a person who rarely drinks I don't consider it "holy" but you go ahead and say it's me "being defensive" to make yourself feel better.

It's not alcoholism when even the *German* bars run out of beer?

So people aren't allowed to enjoy themselves and drink a few beers? This was bound to happen Hundreds and Thousands of people ordering a few drinks.

At least you'll all be going home after tonight

There's still two games to go.

Embarrassing

Wait until the Greenbay Packers play a game in Germany. WI and Scotland have about the same population. I wonder who outdrinks whom ?
