    I'm guessing it was a 'my mums' brand.

    Anywhoo, I'm torn between being HUGELY impressed and rather concerned for you
    I rather enjoy a drink myself, but not alone and not usually during the week.

    I find I get far more out of it on wine than on spirits. So I stick to spirits
    70cl, I'm a lightweight

    Decent stuff not the cheap variety. Sometimes have company at the weekend and enjoy a drink with friends but my working week finished yesterday and I just felt like it, wouldn't normally drink through the week at all and never that much - didn't finish the bottle although I gave it a good shot.

    Being diabetic I get regular blood tests and an update on how my liver's doing and seems to be fine so far.

    I don't think there will be any spare. I wouldn't wonder if he started having toilet duck chasers

    Drinking a full bottle of Vodka on your own in one evening and not feeling that drunk means.....you are a ROCK GOD

    Bur srsly How often do you drink, damage to the liver is done when you drink every day. I am going to take 4 months off the booze to lose weight and give my liver a rest.

    Your pattern is that of an alcoholic. Get yourself checked. You don't have to quit necessarily, just get the right support and cut back.

    I'm always too scared of becoming a middle class alcoholic to drink much at home. We will have the odd glass of G&T or a Whiskey, but that's it unless we treat ourselves on a weekend.

    l did a 3 month project away from home as a permie and a few of us stayed in the same hotel - it was so so easy to get into the habit of hitting the bar for a beer straight away, then getting changed before another couple etc, so I really try and limit it now.

    actually had a dry night Monday & Tuesday. I could feel it calling me which was worrying.

    I had a couple of pints last night. They tasted good.

    I get worried if I clear a bottle of Scotch in a week, a bottle in a night scares me.
