    Have you projectile vomited, got arrested, got hospitalised, impregnated someone or had a punch up through drunken f*ckedness yet?

    You must have misread my question, I didn't mention anything about posting a link to prove you can't understand basic English.

    About a month since I started drinking regularily that is, not from my first drink.

    I get VERY irritable when I am off drink for too long. Bored, complacent and annoyed at the slightest thing!

    Welcome to After Hours, please leave your sense of humour at the door before entering.

    Also, can you back up the statement that somebody was banned for a better thread than this? Note: No matter what thread you pull up I'll say it's worse than this thread. Aren't opinion-based statements just great? :rolleyes:

    Haven't had a drink now for nearly 3 years, just taking a break from it, do intend starting again, its made easier by the fact that I can't get a drink over here that I like, I'm a bitter drinker although I do like red wine also.
