Beer campaigners have urged revellers to help make the Christmas drinking culture more inclusive by dropping 'lad culture' language.
Boozers heading to the pub this Christmas have been asked to avoid certain terms which bosses say invoke outdated stereotypes and alienate women.
Terms such as 'happy hour' and 'pub crawl' are to be shunned, according to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), while 'joining the lads for a few' should be switched to 'treating colleagues to a drink'.
