I don't have any choice. A heavy week for me would be to have 3 pints on more than one day during the whole week. Once upon a time, that would be a light lunch.Originally posted by Churchill View PostHere's a thought, how about drinking in moderation?

Any Southampton alumni will remember a juicy Lucy from clowns. Another bright green drink, insanely alcoholic served in a pint.
The only two things I've ever drunk and immediately thrown back up into the glass.Comment
