`Attempts to wean Britons away from binge drinking toward a more continental European “cafe style” culture may never work because too many like getting drunk, a cabinet minister said Sunday.

“I don’t know whether we’ll ever get to be in a European drinking culture, where you go out and have a single glass of wine,” Labor Party chair Hazel Blears said.

“Maybe its our Anglo-Saxon mentality. We actually enjoy getting drunk,” she told the Sunday Times newspaper in an interview.’

`Taking a drink with sugar-free versions of mixers, such as tonic water, cola, bitter lemon and lemonade, produces higher blood-alcohol levels.

The findings were revealed by Dr Chris Rayner, of the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia, at a conference in the United States. Dr Rayner, the lead author of the study, found that combining alcohol with a mixer containing artificial sweeteners resulted in significantly higher levels of blood-alcohol than the same drink taken with an ordinary mixer.’
