News Article Comments : 'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home'
Drinking in the pub is "potentially more explosive" than doing so at home, according to a senior Tesco lobbyist.
Emma Reynolds, the supermarket's head of Government affairs, told a conference on women and binge drinking today: "Pubs can potentially be a more explosive environment to drink in than the home."

'Pub drinking more dangerous than at home' I can't talk to your query with regards to the whole of Bristol, so I will respond just from my own perspective. This week (Sunday to Thursday) was as per expectations, and ahead of forecast. Thanks for your interest. Yes, we serve food. The menu is beer matched. I'd suggest you give it a try one day, of you have liberty to select all of your beers at your own discretion.
