Media heavy drinkers: This is news?

My former Sun collegaue Jon Morgan, Senior Editor of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, sends word about a story from England that confirms that British media workers drink more than members of any other profession.

This does not surprise most media workers.

We readily imbibe, especially if someone else is paying.

Maybe we should have a drink-off, Brit media workers vs. USA media workers.

Better do it fast, before there are so few of us that we can't field a team.

A collection of his columns, "Raising Kids and Tomatoes, Amusing Tales and Appetizing Recipes," was published in 1998. He lives with his wife, Judith, a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, in a downtown Baltimore rowhouse.
