Sad.
I didn't know he'd died
Was very sorry to see it
Very very sad
Thoughts and prayers with his family
You think I'm joking don't you
I'm an alcoholic so I was probably blind drunk when I posted that
In fact I'm pissed now
Alcoholism is a disease, with serious consequences for the individual and his/her family.Good lad.

I write with feeling as my brother in law, a highly regarded doctor, has suffered from it all his life.
It is no joking matter.
Don't worry I'm well aware of it more than anybody knows. So are tobacco drugs food the sun, the cold starvation etc etc.
Yuv got live n be happy, keep smiling if ya cant ya may as well not be here, get out onnit.
I'm off to the 'what yer drinking?' thread.The last thing I want to do is spoil anyone’s fun. I enjoy a drink myself.
However, there is a very fine line between heavy social drinking and alcoholism.
For anyone who is concerned that they may have crossed that line Alcoholics Anonymous is a superb organisation and offers great support to those in need.
It doesn’t matter what class of society you belong to or how successful in life you are, you may be vulnerable to this dreadful disease which can destroy individuals and families if it is not addressed.

I luv yur Malc, is he the one in Garden Village?
I still maintain controlled drinking is good for you, it's relaxing, and there have been plenty of suggestions red wine is actually good for you *necks more shiraz*
The issue is when you're dependent on it - and that's different from liking a drink or drinking a lot. You could be dependent on a shot of brandy when you get home from work.
The real problem is if you want to stop and can't, or if your need to drink impedes your ability to work or whatever...
As for Whittingham, I heard a rumour Marthur was still trying to sign him
Well... That's me f**ked then.Uncle Malcolm says you are only an alcoholic if you drink alone at home. Anything else means you aren’t. So that is official.
