This programme continues to glamourise binge drinking. Steve & Becky played drinking games whilst working in the pub. Diedre Barlows mother drank all day and then many characters during the wedding reception, and the bride and Leanne before the wedding. I understand the use of alcohol to further the storyline during the wedding reception, but the use of alcohol by Steve and Becky demonstrated they could not have a good time unless they got drunk. This programme continually sends out the wrong message about binge drinking. Lining up glasses of beer to drink every fifteen minutes and then moving onto shorts was totally uncalled for. A reference was also made that Steve was a "lightweight" if he did not join in.
