A Royal Hangover (2014)

When you ponder over British culture, what springs to mind? The regal charm of the Royal family, the quintessential scones, fish n' chips, the prestigious Wimbledon, or perhaps the incessantly dreary weather? Yet, looming over all these cultural icons, there exists a national indulgence. Not the humble cup of tea, but the ever-flowing stream of alcohol. Brits are renowned, perhaps even notorious, for their insatiable thirst for the drink, a thirst that shows no signs of ebbing. "A Royal Hangover" is a potent brew of anecdotes and perspectives from every corner of Britain's prolific alcohol culture. With contributors ranging from politicians to police, medical experts to charities, and from the pews of the church to the laboratories of science, it delves into the heart of Britain's love affair with booze. Infused with the star power of personalities like Russell Brand and controversial figures such as Professor David Nutt, the former Government Drugs Advisor, this documentary poses critical questions. Why does Britain stand apart in its drinking habits? How does it differ from its European neighbours and American cousins? Are the Brits even cognizant of the gravity of the issue? And who or what is to be held accountable for this deteriorating culture? Directed by critically acclaimed independent filmmaker and teetotaler, Arthur Cauty, "A Royal Hangover" presents a balanced cocktail of shock, humor, empathy, and contemplation; a film that resonates with everyone. It serves as a toast to alcohol education, with the lingering hope that Britain might one day awaken free of its metaphorical hangover. So, raise your glasses, Brits, and let's delve into this unfiltered examination of your beloved booze culture.
