Beer-fear Britain:’ As lockdown measure lift, and pubs begin to fill, a new report reveals the destinations for the most (and least) civilised night out
Lockdown left many longing for a well-deserved pint at their local boozer. But, with many pubs and restaurants now back open, are boozy Brits going to be on their best behaviour?
A night out can often get out of hand leading to poor life choices such as cheating on your partner, or even spending the night in a police cell. With Brits eager to paint the town red, Online Casinos has analysed cheating statistics, crime index data and alcohol-related hospital admissions to unveil the best and worst places for a civilised night out.
Blackpool revealed as the most uncivilised night out!
The famous (or in this case infamous) seaside town Blackpool takes the top spot for the ‘loosest’ destination for a night out. With high crime, binge-drinking and moderate cases of infidelity, this British tourist hotspot is the worst place for unfavourable behaviour.
It’s bad news for Londoners as well; despite being the capital of the UK – rich in culture and history -the research reveals the opposite! High crime and infidelity and a huge binge-drinking culture make the capital city an uncivilised hotspot for a depraved night out.
