I'm not one to look down on others for their drinking habits, but 9pm seemed a bit early to be finding it hard to walk. One of the lads looked like an out of work builder. So have people noticed an increase in drunks who are trying to escape their reality the past while? Or was the fact that I was on my way to the offie playing with my mind?

The reason they are coming home at 9 is that they haven't adjusted to all day drinking yet. Give it a few months and this will be a regular sight for most of you.
