No, but apparently Lion Red on my wheatbix was a bit much for an ex.

Hmm that's strange? i don't see what her problem is.

Ya fucken alcoholics. Get yourselves to AA.

These are the original Twelve Steps as published by Alcoholics Anonymous:

1:We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2:Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3:Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4:Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5:Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6:Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7:Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8:Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9:Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10:Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
11:Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12:Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Is it bad that i keep a box of beer in the toolbox of my digger?

Ask the OSH guy next time you see him. In fact, he'd be offended if you didnt offer him one. or twelve.

A person is never "cured" of alcoholism, merely in remission (according to my mate who goes to AA still, after 15+ years off of the juice).
Another mate was the Navy's biggest boozer. He quit completely, without any help.
After 6 years dry he stated "he could handle beer now" and one beer eventuated in an extremely large intake at once, and then becoming dry again. He has been dry ever since (15+ years).

Lion Red was the problem...that stuff is for cleaning drains and taking to party's where you can drink anything but!

Now if it had been an actual beer like Stella Artois...maybe, just maybe, there would not have been a problem.

I don't drink very often these days, I'm too tight and I was an expensive drunk I have dirty fags as my vice and all other money goes towards bikes.

[unstuck]

I have a dirty fag as my vice .

There ya go,fixed.

[ducatilover]

There ya go,fixed.

No no, I never have just the one fag. I have many fag ends during the day.

Say what? That shite is vile.
I rate it up there with sweinlager, possibly even higher in fact, for undrinkability.

It's like English beer used to be.

No one drinks it now.

The European stuff is so much better
