Chrissie Hynde – Queen of Christmas

‘Tis the season once again, and for many people, Christmas parties mean one thing: drinking. But chances are that many Scots will make it through the season responsibly as 48% of Scottish adults recently polled are now willing to give alcohol-free beer a chance. The research shows that 49% of UK people think alcohol-free beer is far more socially acceptable now than five years ago.

In fact, it looks like this…
