    Right so day one done and dusted. Got up and stared at the naggin and very nearly chickened out. But I thought of Churchill starting the day with a scotch and soda and manned up and went for it. Mixed about half a naggin into about 400ml of cranberry juice, took a good swig, and trudged into work as usual.

    To be honest I felt a bit out of it for the first half hour or so but I held it together and just had a few sips every now and again. It worked! Got a nice mellow buzz and just went with it. Just before the coffee break I thought of something funny and started giggling to myself which got a few looks but so what. Being a bit introverted I normally find the break a bit of a chore since I'm forced to interact with my co-workers but today I breezed it. I'll have to lie to my colleagues and tell them I took up yoga or something to explain my new positive demeanour

    Back at the desk and the good vibes continued. At one stage I just walked around the building on the pretense of looking for a file just to enjoy that feeling of having no worries. Unfortunately sobered up a bit after lunch and soon ran dry so the last hour dragged on. May have to top up on the vodka during the lunch break. Don't want to go into work with a naggin in my coat pocket, would make me paranoid.

    All in all a pretty good day. Will do the same again tomorrow.

    Fair play to ya.

    Watch season 10 of Trailer Park Boys, you are Jim Leahy. He uses a breathalyser to ensure he is topped up correctly / nicely buzzed. Look how he turns out.

    Ha that's funny. I'll never watched it, I'll have to check it out.

    I was think Fred, since you ran out at lunchtime you might want to alternate the method of consumption just for the Craic like. Have you contemplated getting a medium gauge syringe and injecting a shot of vodka each into a couple of oranges or mandarins? These can then be eaten at lunchtime or throughout the afternoon. People will think you're a health ninja when really on the p1ss.

    My plan is to mix vodka (doesn't smell) with a bottle of fruit juice and just sip on it all day. I'm thinking a naggin a day but I'll probably have the spend the first week or two adjusting the dose.
    Watch the movie "Leaving Las Vegas" with Nicholas Cage, I forget the actress unfortunately. It's right down your street or where you want to go Fred.

    I don't know. Dying while drinking vast amounts of alcohol while shagging Elizabeth Shue. I could think of worse ways to go.

    Seen it. A much better movie about alcoholism is Trees Lounge with Steve Buscemi.

    Thanks for the movie recommendation.

    But seriosuly, I know this is AH and some of this story is probably exagerrated/in humour, but if not - you might want to cut down a bit.

    You'll need that naggin tomorrow after the beer and vodka hangover. Then at the weekend you'll need a few to keep away the hangover.

    Few weeks later you'll slipping around in yer own pish a few hundred quid worse off.

    I think you should take a few days off work. Try a day swigging raspberry and vodka. Then drink your few cans before getting a good night sleep.
    You should consider Kahlua and coffee in your travel mug for the journey to work.

    This thread might be a wind up. If you are considering drinking vodka during the day ,, just to get you through the day. Your drinking in work will certainly be noticed.

    Cut down your drinking, for your own sanity.

    I'm no one to give advice on this subject

    Op first post sounds exactly like my life up till recent...I too had thoughts of sneaking a bottle of vodka into work and sipping merrily away all day because HATED my job... I failed to go through with it when I realised the dangerous nature of such a folly.....Here I am two months later in a nee job and happier than ever....money is not as good and frankly who cares....your health is your wealth...... ps....vodka and orange is delicious...

    A "whole" naggin??
    That's about 3 pints of beer. Hardly enough to get you mashed

    Well 3 pints would have me fairly touched, not falling over the place, but I'd be caught in work!

    Yes i'm a lightweight.

    OP I hope you aren't an air traffic controller - or work with dangerous machinery :D

    All in all, this was a very good FICTIONAL thread on boards.

    OP is great at creative writing.

    it was interesting how the OP used an alcoholic loser idiot to be the main character in this piece of fictional writing. good on ye.

    Cue pic of Smirnoff being poured into cranberry bottle followed by face-pixelated selfie of drinking cranberry "juice" in office environment, haha.
