I used to work in a pub & there's a lot of functioning alcoholics out there. Sad really.
One guy that used to come in everyday without fail sticks out in my mind though. Mostly stuck to pints but once he would have four or five in him he used to hit the poker machine. I could easily change the best part of €100 over the course of a few hours & more often than not he would leve empty handed. The drunker he got the more he gambled & gave out to the poker machine. Don't know how he afforded it.
His wife used to finish work a few hours after him & join him. She was strictly top shelf alcohol & could put it away too. What used to make me sad is that when he was talking to any of us behind the bar he was all nicey nice but as soon as he had to speak to her he basically barked at her like she was a dog. And she sat there & took it.
I believe their kids had a pretty miserable upbringing. Couldn't have been any other way with the two of them getting pissed everyday. This was back years ago when the likes of the guards & social services turned a blind eye to a lot of neglect. I'm told that only for the neighbours they would have been severely malnourished.
Horrible how a substance can have such a hold over people.

Ah come on. They were only having 'the craic' ya big dry****e.

Im losing brain cells reading this thread, and Im not even drinkin

Loosing brain cells is good

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

Friend of mine could put away a powerful amount of drink. But he had a habit of disappearing. The most infamous incident was when he woke up at the top of a building under construction.

I had a friend like this, you'd be out having a few, he'd start packing away the JD & cokes and get completely smashed and then just disappear.... We'd have no clue where he was gone.

heard of one heavy drinker who is said to have drank 40 pints of guinness for a bet,the bet was that any amount over 32 pints and the whole lot would be free,He would usually drink 20-25 pints a day,the funny thing is that he gives up drink every lent.
