I love the way she tries to differentiate Tennents from Dutch Gold

neris

no shop forces you to buy "packs" of cans. Shops have choices of "packs" or individual cans or bottles.

bijapos

Tennant's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Started my drinking career on that stuff, twas £1 a pint when Harpic was £1.25 and Carlsberg was only available in bottles. Happy days they were too1

"An eighteen month period, Damien"..

I wonder how many people turned on just as she was saying that, and turned right back off again.

shockwave

So she blames the fact that she became an alcoholic on buying more drink.

counterlock

So she is blaming cheap drink, but the price was not the reason for it....

Did Helen just say "insidious"?

Aidric

Stump.

Owryan

its the shops fault, its the drinks fault, its her heights fault, none of it is her fault

Big Daddy Cool

shockwave

There's nothing worse than listening to a reformed alcoholic. They're so sanctimonious.

She got drunk on four cans of Tennants.. That qualifies as being a bad alcoholic. She certainly wasnt any good at it.

pc7

So she had 3 mad nights and has decided she's an alcoholic, Helen I'm not convinced. Reckon you just had empty nest and too much time on your hands to think of problems to have to get out and meet people.l

Jaysoose

Just because a slab of cans is cheap it doesnt mean you have to drink the lot in one sitting.

Cheap drink isnt the problem here its the fact that you have no willpower.

Why she is being entertained as some sort of wise old head is beyond me.

Classic bull****tery.

Is he ringing from the bottom of a well?

Jaysoose

Waffler alert...

pc7

The dangerous thing now is we'll have tons of reformed alcoholics ringing in trying to make their story "worse" than Helens, think I'll be turning off today.

Atlantic Dawn

WTF is the fascination with price, why don't they double the tax on cars to deter road deaths.

Did Damo's parents run a pub?

JonathanAnon

Is it just me or is Damien making very specific emphasis of the point that it was Michael Martin that brought this in

Harry Angstrom

What's next? Ban chocolate because some people get fat from it?
Ban betting offices because some people develop a gambling problem?
:rolleyes:

Paparazzo

Presumably the Dail Bar will close down as a message to the people that the country doesn't revolve around drink.

Jaysoose

Boom this guy throwing a spanner in the works..lets see the councillor waffle his way round this one.

pc7

Sensible caller alert! Yay love this caller! Ask Damo why I can't buy some wine on a saturday morning doing my shopping for that night cause of plonkers with no responsibility!
