    Maybe he did, we just couldn't understand a word he said.

    Boozing when training is out the question I would say, for me anyway, not for the physical side, just can't be arsed when hungover.

    “He is a man of thirty-five, but looks fifty. He is bald, has varicose veins and wears spectacles, or would wear them if his only pair were not chronically lost. If things are normal with him, he will be suffering from malnutrition, but if he has recently had a lucky streak, he will be suffering from a hangover. At present it is half past eleven in the morning, and according to his schedule he should have started work two hours ago; but even if he had made any serious effort to start he would have been frustrated by the almost continuous ringing of the telephone bell, the yells of the baby, the rattle of an electric drill out in the street, and the heavy boots of his creditors clumping up the stairs. The most recent interruption was the arrival of the second post, which brought him two circulars and an income tax demand printed in red. Needless to say this person works in IT.”


    To paraphrase George Orwell....or F. Scott Fitzgerald

    Often people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane... There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.

    Apparently we should spend a lot more time hungover.

    A bottle of wine a day is not bad for you and abstaining is worse than drinking, scientist claims - News - Food + Drink - The Independent
