Today or this week?

er...















About 25 today.

[Fangirl Three]

It was today's total I was primarily interested in, cos you specified that you'd been drinking all day.

25 in a day is rather a lot, there've been a couple of times I touched those levels, once in 1990 when I was 19 and mad, and once in 1994 when I was working for the CPS.

1994 was probably the most extreme scenario because it went on for 3 weeks and ended up with me being ignominiously sacked

[Fangirl Three]

I had 2.2 units less this week than I did last week

I'm having a nice vodka and orange to celebrate.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

[Fangirl Three]

Which ironically is 2.4 units.

This week

0 cigs

About a quarter a single measure of Woods Rum in a coffee this morning, somewhere between 0 and 1 unit of alcohol

Which is slightly less than last week.

[Nightjar]

Probably well over 100 units.

[Fangirl Three]

I had 54.7 units.

[Nightjar]

I've just bought a bottle of this...



£23 at Wait, Rose!

It's very very nice.

I think that if I get good quality spirits in future it'll be tequ-illa.

[Fangirl Three]

I'm finished with agave-based spirits, it's cheaper and nicer to swill out an ashtray with vodka and then drink that.

I don't think I really like spirits at all to be honest.

But as I was saying to myself this morning, when I was rehearsing this argument, 'You did drink a litre of vodka last Thu-Sun, for someone who doesn't like spirits you certainly are trying to get over your aversion.'

(That's a litre over the 4 days, not a litre a day btw)

[Fangirl Three]

I had 53.8 units this week. That's 0.9 less than last week

[Guest]

I've fallen off the wagon, I've just had a can of Bad Co.'s Das Model 'craft pilsner'

It was horrible to be honest. 4.8 alc/vol 330ml, so I'm not sure how many units that is, 1½ ish?

:shame:

:shame:

1.6 units (ml x percentage points and divide by 1000)

Inspirational talk incoming, the other day I was thinking 'Fangirl, you really need to be drinking less at your age, and now that WDTBD is on like 1 drink a week, you haven't got the excuse that you drink less than him any more. If he's realised that drinking loads is bad and taken action, then you really should too.'

[Guest]

Well, you're still drinking less than Nightjar.

[Fangirl Three]

Yes, he's all I've got left now.

[Guest]

[Nightjar]

I'll drink to that.
