Having a couple of early doors beers. In my 4th Guinness plan to be home by 7. Making toad in the hole with colcannon for dinner.
The ones I used to see hanging over the railings by Bank station, heaving their guts up at Xmas time. They’ve usually recovered by NYE and ready to do it all again.
All the ****s that invade your local at Christmas and new year never to be seen again. They also wave their money at the bar staff and don’t respect the order of who was at the bar infront of them. They are also likely to order something silly and end up chucking their guts up within 3 hours.
I don’t go to my local so I’d assume that makes me an amateur drinker. I’ve never understood why some folk brag that it takes them 20 pints to get drunk... I can get drunk for 1/4 of the cost and I don’t have to spend my entire night getting pissed on by other ‘Pro drinkers’ at the urinal.
They used to do my nut in back in the day. They’d appear on NYE invariably over dressed and either be hammered early doors, or just sit there nursing a single drink for hours on end getting in the way.
It’s got nothing to do with volume, merely the fact that they’d never been seen from one year to the next - literally.
So if they get smashed out of their tits every day at home and only go to the pub on NYE they’re an ‘amateur drinker’?
It’s the ones who can’t handle it that used to piss me off. Either they’re throwing up, want to start a fight, or just generally making silly ****s out of themselves.
