Yeah, he died in The Pub in Malta. I went there shortly after and they were giving these out - like mass cards but with bad pub wit on the back ("When you lie, let it be by a pretty lady...when you steal, steal away from bad company", yadda yadda)I was reading about Oliver Reed the other night. Legendary drinker.
After beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling, Reed suddenly collapsed, dying while en route to hospital in an ambulance. He was 61 years old.
what do you guys think of alcohol free beer? i've been off the alcohol the last two weeks and i think i must've drunk a bottle of 30 alcohol free beers by now. the thing is, if you're out with friends or just in any fun social situation where you would normally drink beer, you can't just drink cola or water i think? can you? what's the point of it? who drinks 10 colas on an evening? i need to drink continuously, pick up the glass, lift it to my face, take a sip. and i need to repeat this over and over the whole night. so i've been doing it with alcohol free beer for now but it all just feels very silly to me. who am i fooling?
More now. I stopped drinking on Sundays for a while but that didn’t survive lockdown.Only Thursday-Sunday. 2 beers or half a bottle of red.
(And other days if I'm out).
Vitamin C deficiency?Ive probably told this story before but I used to drink at least a full sized Orange juice carton a day. There's be times where I couldnt fall asleep because the oj cravings were so strong. And Ive never struggled with addiction in any capacity whatsoever- I can smoke like a chimney for a month and stop on a dime, and have never struggled with drugs/booze despite similar binges
I remember there was that kid who turned orange cos he was drinking so much Sunny D - the company (not unreasonably) pointed out that they hadn't felt the need to warn against this side-effect cos the amount of Delight he was drinking was something like ten times the total recommended daily liquid intake.Ive probably told this story before but I used to drink at least a full sized Orange juice carton a day.

Vitamin C deficiency?
It eventually just went away. I was in highschool so probably some hormonal imbalanceI remember there was that kid who turned orange cos he was drinking so much Sunny D - the company (not unreasonably) pointed out that they hadn't felt the need to warn against this side-effect cos the amount of Delight he was drinking was something like ten times the total recommended daily liquid intake.
What do you think caused your OJ addiction? How did you break it?
