Revellers at Scots boozer baffled after barman chucks away drinks to 'prove point'

Revellers at a Scots bar were left baffled after their barman chucked away their drinks 'to prove a point'. Unaware they were being filmed, locals attending the Neighbourgood Market in Edinburgh were caught up a prank, which aimed to increase awareness of drink wastage.

The customers were caught on camera as environmentalist group 'Love Food Hate Waste' took over a stall at the food and drinks market for a day during the summer.

Following the stunt, campaigners told Edinburgh Live that 800,000 tonnes of drink is disposed in UK sewers every year - costing an estimated £1.4 billion.

Trying to put their concerns into perspective, the group had become bartenders at the market, and happily made up customer's orders, before pouring half of it down the drain and handing it over.
