根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When the Home Office says that it's worrying about bars(酒吧)that encourage people to drink
when they're already drunk, it means that the problem of drinking is about
people falling over in city centers. However, the latter is a more difficult
issue.
There are plenty of drunken people who are a bit unsteady going upstairs
to bed and don't break anything. The biggest change in their drinking habits is
the increase in the drinking of wine, most of which is drunk at home. This is
what will stop us becoming a 24-hour pub society. The British are good at staying at home—most
people now have informal dining kitchens, which encourage informal eating and
drinking. It
doesn't sound unreasonable, but the Department of Health would say that it adds up to a health problem. Yet this has become the cultural
standard for all generations. The great rise in alcohol consumption(消费)from the 1980s is considered to
be down to women drinking, partly reflecting their increasing importance as
wage earners.
There is a strong connection between the economy and alcohol consumption
in Britain. Today, the number of people who say that they don't drink in this
country is rising, probably because of incentives offered by insurance
companies.
A. Why not have a nice meal and open a bottle of
wine?
B. Will British drinkers take any notice of the
government?
C. People are happy drinking at home, where they
don't pay pub prices.
D. Drinking at home seems safer for many women than
going to a pub.
E. The change in attitudes to drunken driving in
recent years shows that this can happen.
F. It's probably the case that those who do drink
are drinking more, possibly because of the recession (衰退).
G. What the Home Office is talking about is the link
between drinking and social order, rather than drinking and health.
