had it and lost it
When in my late teens/early twenties I had a talent that almost bordered on being a superpower. I could consume Oliver Reed quantities of booze on top of Shaun Ryder quantities of MASSIVE DRUGS on a daily basis, always remaining in a fairly upright manner, with no memory loss, then jumping up from among the mass of semi-comatose bodies strewn across the floor in a party and heading to work with no great after effects.

Fast forward a few years and 3 shandies has me falling on my ass talking shite, with no memory of the previous night, waking up to a hangover the likes of which no human can ever be reasonably expected to survive and crawling to work feeling like death for the next 3 days.

So your story is 'my liver is now completely fucked'?

there's surprisingly little evidence that livers get worse at processing booze as you get older
he's just what medical science refers to as a great whimpering Jessie

That may be true
However there is quite compelling evidence that a liver ravaged by past overindulgence is drastically reduced in it's function. Unfortunately it's not possible to conduct an experiment to find out, if I hadn't consumed prodigious amounts of alcohol in my youth, would I still be such a whimpering Jessie in my 30's

no there isn't
I'm sure you'd like to think of yourself as a hardcore party animal who's been damaged by excess but you're just an average youth who's got old and feeble twenty years too early

I'm paid forty pence a week to be mean on the internet.
