Either that or a bore.
It's quite funny how many Muslims drink on the sly though, flying back from Indonesia there was quite a few hitting the onboard booze as soon as the plane was airborne, lol
Pub crawls are to be stopped!

I had a spell in the Sahara Desert. Muslim state of course and no alcohol. I was wrong. The British guys did their own brew at their camp in the evening. I got plastered the first might.
My town had 15 pubs it's now got 9
A lot more than my local ex military town now has.
Assuming no entry fees and or extortionate venues, arguably a pub crawl should be cheaper than just sitting in the same boozer all night as you should be buying fewer drinks due to spending more time moving between pubs, and delayed purchases due to people not wanting to get another round in if the plan is to move on soon (some would argue a pub crawl is supposed to be 1 drink per pub anyway). The fastest drinkers should be consuming less for sure, although potentially slow drinkers might get hurried along.
Or to put it into numbers, lets say single pub = 3 drinks an hour, pub crawl = 2 drinks an hour.

Saviour a pint? Is Jesus coming along too?
Beer Drinkers Asked to Stop Using Phrases With Alienating 'Lad Culture' Overtones
The beer drinker should consider saying "taking colleagues to a drink" instead of "join the lads for a few," as it might imply that women don't like to drink.ginraiders.com
Terms like pub crawl and happy hour to be replaced with inclusive terms like "saviour a pint" and "pub tour"
Some moronic fun thief has had too much time off over "the winter holiday period"

The most cursory glance at the source suggests that the idea is to use more inclusive language to encourage more people to go to the pub. Which seems to be the complete opposite of your thread title that "Pub crawls are to be stopped!".

People, both male and female, have been going to the pub since time immemorial without a problem. So why try and change the phraseology?. Just smacks of pure virtue signalling ******** to me.

Well that's ok then. All those reports about pubs closing and licensees struggling to stay in business must be mistaken.

And the only things that seem to be trending upwards are a) women visiting pubs and b) people visiting pubs but not drinking. But yeah, let’s make sure those people don’t feel welcome and tank the industry quicker.

i dont think anyone has said that anyone should not be made to feel welcome.
just that people suggesting there is a problem with terms like pub crawl is virtue signalling BS and is actually possibly ignoring what is maybe the root of the problem, that some people who go to pubs and what not are tossers for making anyone feel uncomfortable.
I get that in some areas i am a bit of a dinosaur, and indeed at work my unprofessionalism has been mentioned on occasion, so on this following thought i may not be 100% in the right, but generally i am of the view that the context and manner of what is being said is far more important than what is literally said.
taken to the extreme a person can be 100% polite, and say nothing that could possibly get them in trouble, but at the same time be really nasty mean buggers with it.
OTOH i have known some people (as have we all i am sure) who are actually a bit rough around the edges with a bit of a potty mouth at times, but who actually have hearts of gold and would be deeply upset if they thought they had ever made someone feel uncomfortable.
So sure... people need to try to be more inclusive, not to be offensive and some of us (perhaps myself) need to come into the 21st century a little....... but equally, some people need to stop looking for offence where there is none and dare i say it in this thread............... man up a bit! (yes i know..........................
!)

It's also from their 2019 branding guidelines, so the Sun are bang up to date dragging together an outrage fodder article at the tail end of 2022.
This. This. This. This. Anyone getting themselves wound up over that article is being mugged. You're being mugged for ad revenue, nothing more, nothing less.
Let me guess. You are head of diversity and inclusion at a FTSE 100 company?

Just the usual Bookface clickbait "story" for the knuckle-draggers to get faux-angry about.
