Question: How the bloody fook do they smoke and drink all day and still walk around without dying like flies?
Especially Arthur. Add Tokyo on top of the tobacco and booze. Lard Tunderin' Jaysus! |

Copious amounts of cocaine, of course.

I wondered the same thing. If I drank as much as they do, I'd be on my knees. And even when I smoked I never smoked as much as Thomas Shelby does. My lungs hurt just watching him!

How the fooking hell did they have a Sten gun in 1929
Fuck racketeering, arms patents are they way to go |

Smoking like a chimney is probably healthier than breathing the air around Birmingham during that time period....

Just finished watching season five. Started out a little shaky but ended strong. Great series.
In their chosen profession the odds of dying a natural death aren't great...so nothing exceeds like excess. |

I like the show, but I’m growing tired of the “slow motion fashion walks”
You know, when they parade in slow motion with the tailored Armani, and fireballs explode from the alleys. |

Modern rock music, slow motion walk shoulder to shoulder.
This is apparently how everyone traveled back in the 20's.

I don't care how many slow walks they do as long as Arthur still gets to go batshit berzerk on someone now and again.

There are side effects to that much alcohol, coke and nicotine consumption.
You'll notice it every time there are three or more Peakies walking together down the street....the hard guitar fires up and they all walk in slow motion.
That usually happens right after they juice up and one of them says: "Dun't mess with the Peaky....Fookin......Blinders!" |

If you are smoking, drinking, and tooting it up all day everyday you build up a tolerance.

Tolerance. Gets built up.
And although there’s some cocaine use in the show, other snorting is snuff (powdered tobacco for those that don’t know it). |

@HellifIknow
Cannot speak for the drinking & smoking of THAT era, but the 1980s when I was working in heavy industry after leaving school saw me go out to socialise, of an evening. Wednesday I'd be at work for 7am. I'd have left the nightclub about 2.30am then got home about 3am, later if I'd had to walk the hour back. Everyone seemed to be a smoker - 40 a day was average - I never smoked, luckily. Drinking - most folk did this on weekend nights off. For some they also added Thursday night. Friday night was to drink with your mates, Saturday the same, unless you were dating/married in which case you took the other half out on the town. Sunday was for a quiet drink before facing another week. Everyone seemed to drink at the same speed, as the "pub crawl" was the thing to do - start at one pub & work the circuit having a beer in each. Some streets had several dozen pubs, so not much time wasted walking; oh, the speed, it was a pint every 10 minutes (6 pints an hour) of UK strength beer. I knew people who would not think they'd had a good night out unless they'd had close to 20 pints ...and the odd Friday we would all nip out to a local pub to have three or four quiet pints & a sandwich during the lunch-hour break. THAT was very common & widespread in a lot of the UK in general until quite recently. I seem to recall a saying, what the Americans consider a drink problem, us Brits call lunch! Anyway - with regard to the TV series. It's a load of Brummie bollox. Gave up on it in Series 1 |
