This is a midday meal that consists mainly or entirely of booze. It is still regularly enjoyed by millions of people in Britain, particularly office workers who hate their jobs and need a little help to get them through the day. A liquid lunch frequently consists of a beer followed by another beer and then another, and so on. Often the solid aspect of the meal, though it may have been planned earlier, is forgotten as an alcoholic haze overcomes the consumer and he or she becomes ratted, legless, and pissed in the British sense.
