Reply to [OC] History of how the U.S. economy outstripped the U.K. economy and how Brexit deepened the gap by tabthough
Interesting how the discovery of and exploitation of a large natural resource, North Sea gas, had no noticeable effect on the UK economy relative to the US.

It would be interesting to see where populations do their drinking, (bars, restaurants, home, work, etc.) I only have anecdotal evidence for this, but in the UK the notorious public drinking of the young adults during the 90s - 00s has been replaced with home drinking by the middle aged.
