Heat and booze at your fun-filled summer barbecue could lead to almighty row
If you’re planning to fire up the barbecue this weekend, try not to get too fired up yourself…
A combination of booze and sizzling weather means three in 10 barbies end in a row, a poll found.
There are gr-ill feelings over everything from side dishes to who has the last banger. And some rows get so heated they spark punch- ups, relationship splits and garden fires.
Generation Z (aged 18 to 24) are most likely to get frazzled with 49% saying they have fallen out with friends or family at a garden do, followed by Millennials (25 to 39) on 38%. Meanwhile, Generation X (40 to 55) and Boomers (over 55) were more chilled at 16% and 6% respectively.
Who is in charge of the grilling is a major flash point for 7% while 8% rowed over side dishes and 6% over who has the last sausage.

And 5% said they had a punch-up at a barbie while 5% of events came to an abrupt end after part of the garden went up in flames.
Getting food poisoning put 2% off barbecues for life and 2% binned a partner after a barbie row.
Rachael Kane of betting site Paddy Power Games, which polled 2,010 adults, said: “Barbecues are an intoxicating mix of hot weather and even higher cooking temperatures. Our study shows a cool head counts when grilling as food isn’t the only thing that gets heated.”
