Wending my weaving wobbling way home from the FMB bar, I caught up with my friend (well, acquaintance of ten years or so) who had previously persuaded me to accompany her to a "party" at which I was not required.
As we wove our way along the thankfully broad pavements, she told me how she had, by dint of not going to the pub for a week, saved enough money to pay for a holiday in Goa.
I was stunned that simply saving the cost of a few pints each evening could subsidise such a trip.
<- Stunned like that.
Except she then explained that she normally leaves work at five in the afternoon, goes straight to the pub, and then ends up leaving the FMB bar at about half one at night.
Then I was stunned
<- like that 
She said: "I spend eight hours working, eight hours drinking, and eight hours sleeping. Except of course there's other things to do, so it's probably more like six-and-a-half-hours sleeping."
I don't feel so bad about wandering down the pub for two or three hours now
