Um. I just did a quick calculation. No, I'm not saying what it came out as, just in case my boss ever reads this...

Oh I don't know. Campari at 25% ABV has a bit of kick to it.

It makes a perfect mixer for the meths smiley - cheers

Hang-on, I think someone's got 'binge drinking' confused with 'lunchtime quick one'.

Going from out of control binge drinker to almost teetotal is easy. Ive gone from more than 50 units a week spread over about 2-3 nights out to two nights out drinking in the last 6 weeks.

Just shatter a bone in your foot, requires surgery and a metal plate in your foot. you will find that down town pubs are hell cos the floors are slippery to crutches and they are too packed...

And Im not a social drinker, a couple of pints either makes me feel sleepy or gives me a need to get hideously, violently drunk and run around nightclubs out of control. So I've drank f*ck all since my accident.

Of course, Ive had to replace the crutch of binge drinking with the crutch of being a pothead.

But hell, we all need something to lean on, just right now for me its 2 metal sticks and a joint!

I used to drink a shed load, but hangover just got far too bad. Also, generally while I'm drinking, I feel like crap. Just not worth it. As for weed, I miss that stuff so much. Went through a major stoner phase, but I felt it affecting my memory and concentration so I gave up. Now I just have the odd drink and a spliff once every couple of months.smiley - sadface
