Many Brits enjoy an alcoholic beverage to help them unwind or relax, while others drink to celebrate a special or significant occasion. With the weather getting warmer, and an incredibly hot weekend ahead - others may choose to soak up the sun with friends while sharing a couple of tipples in the sun.
