Special Forces ditch booze for tea
SAS booze-ups may soon be up the spout – as the heroes go teapotty.
And it’s vegan courses for Special Forces as many of them are ditching meat for plant-based food.
The change of habits is revealed in a survey of spending at regimental shops.
They’re now selling more fruit teabags, mineral water and soft drinks than beer, wine and spirits.
A source said vegan numbers are growing in the SAS and Special Boat Service. Our insider said: “There was always the occasional non-drinker and vegetarian but now there are well over 100. Guys started wanting a non-meat alternative for lunch and dinner.
“It’s the same in the messes. Younger guys are now asking for a camomile tea instead of a lager. They all need to keep themselves in prime condition.”
Many ditched meat while on covert operations in hot countries. Last year ex-SAS: Who Dares Wins star Ant Middleton revealed he was veggie too.
The Ministry of Defence said: “Healthy living and fitness in the Armed Forces is of vital importance.”
