But we know some young people in the UK who drink far more than that and get intoxicated – another word for getting drunk. And this often leads to a hangover – feeling tired and ill the day after drinking – or worse.
但我们知道有些英国的年轻人喝酒远不止这些，并喝醉（get intoxicated）--这是喝醉的另一个单词。这通常会导致宿醉--喝酒后感觉很疲惫，很病态甚至更糟。
Well, a report earlier this year by the BBC’s Asian Network, found this picture is changing. Young people are drinking less, or not at all – they are abstaining. 
今年上半年BBC的 Asian Network报道，这个画面正在发生改变。年轻人喝的少了，甚至不喝--他们弃权。
That’s good news. I find, even at my age, cutting back on drinking is a hard thing to do. It takes willpower – that’s the ability to control my own behaviour. 
这是好消息。我发现即便是像我这个年纪，戒酒仍是一件难事。它需要意志力--指控制自己行为的能力。
Yes, of course this is not an issue for people from certain cultures, who don’t drink alcohol because of their religious beliefs. But for others, there are a number of changes that have encouraged younger people to remain sober – or not get drunk. 
是的，这对在某些文化背景下的人们来说这当然不是问题，他们不喝酒是因为他们的宗教信仰。但对其他人来说，有许多变化，鼓励年轻人保持清醒--或不喝醉。
Well, there have been awareness campaigns – that’s when organised publicity in the media has shown the benefits of not drinking. Also, British pubs and clubs have been stricter when stopping underage drinkers from buying alcohol. 
一直有宣传活动，有组织的公共媒体说明不喝酒的好处。英国的酒吧和俱乐部严格禁止未成年人购买酒。
Yes, because officially you have to be 18 years old before you can buy alcohol. Another reason is the recession – people can’t afford to go out and drink. 
是的，因为通常在18岁以后你才能买酒。另一个原因就是经济衰退--人们承担不起外出喝酒。
But Jonathan Birdwell, who’s a senior researcher at the think-tank Demos, has another reason. A think-tank, by the way, is a group of experts brought together, usually by a government, to develop ideas on a particular subject and to make suggestions for action. See if you can hear what his reason is… 
但Jonathan Birdwell,来自智库Demos的高级研究员，说有另一个原因。顺便说一下，智库通常由政府组织一群专家聚在一起，来对特定的事提出想法，对行动提出建议。看一下你是否能听出来他的原因是什么...
Around 2004 we see the rise of awareness campaigns around units to consume, and daily guidelines, we see the arrival of ’drink aware’ labels on alcohol. We also see the rise of negative media stories around binge drinking culture. I think also significant, is the rise of social media technologies, smartphones, iPads. You know we have not only new ways of interacting with our friends, which takes up time, but we also have multiple forms of entertainment that didn’t exist, say ten years ago. 
2004年前后，关于喝酒单位的宣传运动和日常准则增加，我们看到在酒上贴上了“饮酒须知”的标签。我们也看到对酗酒文化负面媒体报道也在增加。同时我也认为社交媒体技术、 智能手机、 Ipad 的崛起也很明显。你知道的，我们不仅使用新方式和朋友们联系，这些新方式需占用时间，我们还有很多十年前并不存在的娱乐方式。
