Many years ago, like many, i frequented the pubs and clubs every night of the week and all day on Sundays, though never overdid it, averaged about six pints of bitter plus 2 or 3 chasers, usually no less than 4 pints.
Eventually got married, divorced and married and divorced again and the drinking rollercoastered for some years, but to day never touch drink at all now, one pint of beer, one shot or glass of wine gives me a splitting headache and feeling ill....one Christmas a few years ago i went for an evening drink near home with work friends, i had 3 pints of pi**y lager but on the way home thought i had been mugged, as i felt a bang on my head and found myself in the gutter, i hadn't been mugged, just reeling drunk

lucky i got away with it, many of my old drinking buddies never stopped and died early, many are still killing themselves, today booze has never been cheaper or easier to get :-/
