How the fuck could you afford it?
Not you, obviously

A friend of mine's dance partner comes from an absolutely loaded family
And several of them are properly fucked up. Takes a strong personality to resist such things when they're so easily available.

Serious question
Is this shared proclivity for over-indulgence your fault/influence, or his? Or is it God's righteous vengeance on your mother for being unholy an' gay an' that?

He is older than me.
Actually it was simply the counter-culture of Winchester in the 80s. Literally everyone was at it. There's fuck all else to do round there if you're a teenager and every summer the convoy came through en route to Stonehenge, and there were travellers' sites all around the town. It's just a hardcore little town.

Didn't consider geography
I prefer my theory about The Lord smiting your mother's womb with alcoholism

That's actually a bit much to get into.
Technically I think I'd consider myself drunk since about 1992, if not earlier.

It does depend how you define it.
And that's my counting it in a way that stops me thinking 'well, if I could just drink like I did when I was 20, instead of when I was 35, that would be OK'. You know?

This is all a little dreary and serious for B3ta though. I don't mind people knowing and talking about it up to a point, but the details of how I cope and the like are a bit much to share and will bore people to death anyway.

Sorry mate; but seriously well done for beating it and coping
You seem like a good sort and I hope you have happier times now and to come

No, no, that wasn't a dig at you for prying
Just an explanation of what I do and don't feel OK talking about. And honestly, a large part of what I don't talk about isn't really that it bothers me, just that it would be as terminally boring as yesterdays bickering was.

And thank you.
