Terrible Parenting
My parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

My mother got me addicted...
My parents teach at uni in the US, so I spent the first 8 years of my life on planes crossing the atlantic.
I was a noisy bugger as a small child, so from the age of 4 months, my mother added copious amounts of gin to my orange juice, making sleep for hours.
I now drink gin at every available opportunity.
Length? A generous double.
