How long's it been going on?

A little while
Can't remember exactly when, but I think around the start of this year was when I first started to notice it. Unsurprisingly, there is a correlation between how bad it gets and the nights when I've been hitting the ale too hard. Increasingly frequently these days I find my stomach starting to protest after about the fifth or sixth pint, so it made me wonder whether I'd given myself a stomach ulcer or something.

Give up drinking for a couple of weeks
if it stops woo hoo, if it doesn't go to your GP.

This is, of course, the sensible and obvious answer
Would require me to give up drinking for a couple of weeks, though...

You can have white russians or something if you must drink.

I jest
It will just be terrifically bad timing as a lot of my friends are currently departing for pastures new, which will mean a lot of 'leaving drinks' being scheduled around the time I'm trying to give my system a rest.

Felt fucking rough yesterday though, so perhaps it is time I MTFU'ed and gave it up for a little while.

FINE THEN
I don't need friends anyway. I can keep myself perfectly entertained at home and have enthralling conversations with my tumour as it slowly spreads throughout my drink-ravaged body and corrupts my internal organs, one by one and I gradually die, in great pain and with no other company except the tumour that is destroying me. And with the last ounces of my strength, I make a final, solitary cup of tea, and go to the fridge to find the fucking milk's gone off.

stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria
if what QI tells me is to be believed
