Re: I'll drink to that.

I used to drink, if I had done an 8 or 12 hour shift with little food consumed I would be drunk off 3 bottles of not very strong lager! If I hadn't been working I could drink 10 bottles before feeling the effects.

What put me off alcohol was when I was a landlady in Salford I used to look at the customers and think 'do I look like that'? So if I go out now I stick with soft drinks I have just as much fun but none of the suffering the day after.

You would think educating kids about the effects of alcohol, not only what it does to your liver, but the damage caused to wives husbands kids e.t.c. by people who have been violent 'because' of booze, might help but it didn't really stop kids smoking nor drink drivers. So I don't really think that would work. I do think the more you tell people NOT to do something the more they WILL do it
