booze intake over xmas so far?

[Pretty pink fairy]

I drink around 45 units a week on average which is double the recommended " safe level " and pretty much nothing but neat whisky. I enjoy it, it helps me relax and forget about the day to day struggles of trying to survive. This has increased over the last 4 horrendous years but the way I see it , is life is too short to deprive yourself of everything in case it may knock a few years off your life expectancy. Churchill drank like a fish and lived to 82 and stated " I took more out of alcohol than alcohol ever took out of me ".

stop "hiding " behind booze

You could live without alcohol if you had to, mark my words

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I could Pete. I will take my chances.

Oh don't get me wrong not judging what you do as I am just as bad with alcohol intake just stating you could if you had to

The way I see it at the moment either the booze will get me or the stress. Its Hobson's choice really. Not really bothered at the moment how long I live.

Luckily stress is something I never appear to suffer from despite a pretty traumatic year at work with various supploers going to the wall and nearly taking our product with them

Done that mate. I will just live as I see fit and when its over its over. No hard luck stories to be had. The last 4 years have had me on my knees in the gutter praying for a miracle and I expect 2012 to be the same if not worse. Sorry to be heavy.

Have you not thought by now the miracle in the mortgage world ain't going to happen for several years yet so perhaps better to retrain ?

For what ? No one wants to know if your are knocking on 50. Its a brutal world out there. Applied for hundreds of jobs with no reply. Didn't do the Tesco's Xmas skint this year though. Accepted my fate now.

I am determined to watch this.
