Alcohol

Do you cringe when the recycling bins are dragged over your drive, clinking and jangling their merry jig at 6 am in the morning for the neighbours to hear? Do you share out your booze purchases between several stores to try and cover up how much you drink?

The amount of alcohol I drank steadily rose over the years. In my early twenties and thirties, I was strictly a beer man and most nights at the pub would be an eight-pint session.
