Someone here told me about accosting the Turkish lads in the offie.

Why do you sell me more beer when you can see I'm dying?

And they said you were screaming in the shop clutching beer you fell over on the floor screaming we could t get rid of you we said no

And he had no recollection.

Who was that?

How many more have u got?

None on the last one

That's the terrifying truth of drink. Not a loosening of inhibitions but livid psychosis.

The two or three people here that know will tell you it's reality and it stretches your sense of self to breaking point. Not to be melodramatic.
