6. Peter Dench Artist Statement
On January 15th 1915, during the First World War, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, David Lloyd George exclaimed that Britain was “fighting Germans,
Austrians and Drink, and as far as I can see the greatest of these foes is Drink.”
The Germans and Austrians may have been repelled, twice, but nearly a
century on the battle of the booze continues.
The English have turned drinking into a national obsession, nearly an art form.
A few national days of significance is far too limiting to the imaginative English
imbiber, and hundreds of excuses have been found to indulge in a bender. The
English are drinking younger, longer, faster and more cheaply than ever before.
Binge drinking followed by public order problems are becoming increasingly
common in towns and cities.
I was made in England on Saint Georges Day in 1972; I share a birthday with
Shakespeare. Weighing into the world a hefty 10lbs 8oz, the smell of hops and
yeast yanked at the nostrils from day one.

Devenish Brewery, where both my parents worked, provided the family
home. Each fortnight my Dad would receive an allowance of a crate of
bottled beer. If I did my chores, on a Friday night I might be allowed one.
If I got up for school before everyone else I could drain the leftovers from
the adults night before. I liked the taste, still do. The first time I got proper
drunk was aged 12 at my former Junior School Summer Fete. Marc
distracted the woman on the Hoopla while I placed the bamboo circle
swiftly round the square that supported a bottle of Pomagne. The sun
shone, the girls looked pretty, life was good.
Weymouth was a violent place to grow up. A Navy base deposited horny
sailors into the town most weekends. The train station deposited horny
workers from the Midlands factories during shutdown. The locals were
always horny, and hungry, mostly thirsty. Throw in around 180 bars to the
mix and something had to give. Often it was my chin. I loved it.
8. As youth beat a retreat and I traded in my cricket bat for a
camera, it was inevitable that one day I would document
the drinking habits of the English. Drinking of England is an
often laugh-out-loud stagger to the four corners of this
badly behaved nation.
The photographs take the viewer from the local pub to
posh charity balls, horse race festivals to nightclubs and the
hospital to the grave. What I discovered is that the nation's
favourite legal high is never far away. That drink is
ultimately classless. Whether you are drinking £100
bottles of champagne or £1 bottles of cider, drink too
much and the consequences are the same to England
