Most alcoholics in the streets of Britain have low prospects, according to a private study.
A study of 100 alcoholics who drink on a daily basis showed that 63% of them had low future prospects and no academic qualifications. It supports the reason they drink so much at high intervals. 37% of the limited sample revealed A level qualified individuals and graduates who were unemployed either because they had done nothing with their degrees or A level qualifications .
In the case of the academically qualified alcoholics, some had either not done very well or had lost their jobs under unfortunate circumstances. There was no way of immediately verifying the validity of their claims except that a fair number were interviewed with their alcoholic friends, and in groups, they were familiar with one another in a way that made their claims believable. In some of those cases they had resigned themselves to failure and a habit of constant drinking.
Unqualified alcoholics with no consistent work history far outnumbered those with a chance of turning their situation around if they really tried. They have forever in their minds settled for the limited subsistence money offered by state benefits, most of which they spend on drink. Alcoholics come in many forms, some drink up to 8 pints of alcohol a day, the most common being a litre bottle of cider. Behind that are those who drink the ordinary cans of ciders
Those dependent on vodka all day or obsessive cavassier lovers follow. These days we also have a large following of alcoholics in the Uk who are obsessed with a polish drink called Karpackie, a 9% booze spreading like wildfire among alcoholics who seek the strongest drink they can cope with. Many alcoholics claim to have the shakes in the morning, and can’t get on with their day unless they have a drink first thing in the morning and right through the day.
Giving up alcohol can be very difficult for alcoholics but not many try. hard enough. Many alcoholics don’t eat much during the day, choosing to substitute food with drink for most of the day.
