Over 6 hours its not exactly tearing the arse off it and you won't ever feel properly drunk. If you're drinking at home you don't really notice it, but staggering to the bar you would. Your girlfriend must be a saint to put up with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 The girlfriend is almost certainly completely fictional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your girlfriend must be a saint to put up with you. She doesn't go about keeping tabs on how much I'm drinking and has her own life to worry about so its not really that much of an issue. I don't really disgrace myself when drunk nowadays either so we hardly ever fall out over it. She's out tonight and I'm not drinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 This thread is like a jakey-filled Hemingway novel. People consuming quantities of alcohol in four hours that would blind an elephant and suffering no ill-effects. What a load of shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No she's not, I would have to be a bit of an oddball to go and make something like that up. 2 minutes ago, Miguel Sanchez said: This thread is like a jakey-filled Hemingway novel.

I'm not saying i suffer no ill-effects from it, if i were to do my usual Sunday of a half bottle of wine and 6+ beers I won't be steaming drunk on the Sunday but I will still feel pretty rough on the Monday morning. Have never missed work through my drinking though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Hem, he seems to have got through mad quantities of booze. Made me think maybe wine was less alcoholic back then. That, or he was lying, or he was some sort of superman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I worked with a guy who was late 30’s at the time who’s life was totally ruined by alcohol from an early age who went on a mad binge for a few weeks and was consuming 3 bottles of vodka a day at his worst. He ended up finding religion and gave up alcohol for about 8 years before dying of cancer at 46. It properly gets a hold of some people to the point they can’t function without it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Throbber just confessed to me by private message that he's a single, friendless, loner who, at the age of 32 has yet to experience the caress of a woman, other than his gran. I feel sorry for the wee soul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
