Northern Ireland drinkers ‘least likely to visit local pub’
Average Brit spends a year in bar
Tuesday, 8 December 2009
Drinkers in Northern Ireland are among the least likely in the UK to be found propping up the bar with friends and workmates, a survey published today reveals.
The average British drinker will spend more than a year of their life in their local, with the Welsh the most likely to be found in the pub, visiting 3,998 times in their lifetime — compared with the national average of 3,550 visits.
Drinkers in London (3,742 visits) and the West Midlands (3,582 visits) are also well above average, while those in Northern Ireland (2,686 visits) and the East Midlands (2,622 visits) are the least likely to be found at their local.
The study was commissioned by UKTV channel Blighty to coincide with the start of Save Our Boozer, a series that will see communities revamp their pubs.
