Knew it was a few. Think I managed 10 (lightweight).

Doubt that's possible. Poor he recovers; shame as a genius on the pitch. Watched a game at Newcastle when he was 17 (Waddle and Beardsley in same team) and he ran rings round everyone.

About 100. You will only last a few years at level and he was pretty close to dropping for a while.

Bloody hell. Government's recommended limits? How many units in 3 bottles of whisky?

A hardened boozer will drink a bottle of spirits in the morning just to get level. Jimmy Greaves used to take a bottle of Vodka to bed with him so he had his breakfast there for him when he woke up.

Yeah I agree, I've heard of alcoholics drinking 2 bottles of vodka a day. I usually have a 4 or 5 pints of lager on a Friday and Sat and that's my limit.

Yes. In the paper's apparently Gazza drank 3 bottles of whisky a day - that's not possible IMO, just seeking attention.
