Problem drinking.

I do believe with some effort and dedication I could become an alcoholic. Unfortunately I lack the will power, and more importantly the readies. Malheuresement this means I am not able to smooth out the harsh lines of reality as often as I would wish.

I have never been a beer drinker, my tastes run to red wine or whisky, and good wine at that, and so my wallet doesn't run to an ample supply.

So what I'm wondering is if there is any political party addressing the problems of drinkers like me, or are they just concentrating their efforts on people who already have too much of a good thing?

Exactly vidiachin - see them everywhere

Apparently Hoody thinks they are a myth.

No idea where he lives his life but it is common everywhere I have been in the world.

on the flip side... I paid £11 for a pint when snowboarding in Finland

Fack. That.

If you wait for the end of the night outside the bar, then, after everyone has stumbled home, eat as much yellow snow outside the back door as you can, you can get pessed for free.

You’re welcome

and now you know why I haven't met you in portugal

I coulnt t become an alchy even if I wanted too. I rarely drink just 1, no point. I'd have a skinfull or abstain, but I've never been able to drink the next day, my body just rejects it.

Is that true? It’s certainly not the case out here.

Yes. It worked well cos most bars in the town had the same brewery so we would work together loaning full kegs to each other for an empty one if somebody unexpectedly ran out before dray day.

How much are drugs? Asking for a mate. Would consider moving away from Lager, or rum if there was decent savings to be made.

Get yourself a bag of decent skunk for 15 quid and you will probably get 7/8 joints out of it. If you are smoking alone then 1 or 2 joints will do you for the night. With mates, 3/4 joints should do it.

I was in Canada not long ago and went to the weed store - which was hidden at the back of the state liquor store. I bought 5 pre-rolled joints for 35 canadian dollars (i.e < £20). Shared just one with 2 other people. After a few minutes I genuinely couldn't work out what country I was in. I saw my mate was clinging desperately to the rail of the deck we were on to keep himself upright. Now that is value for money. Makes British weed look like anaemic parrot shiiyt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I moved to Canada last year, did the same thing and the first time me and the Mrs went out front to share one - by the end of the thing I could barely get my key back in the front door. Ordered pizza in and trying to get it from the box to my mouth was the hardest thing I'd done in a while, woke up to pizza all over the floor

When barrels run dry here you usually have the more unscrupulous landlords trying to rinse their neighbours

Sounds pretty strong! I can't believe how strong the skunk is now compared to the resin back in the day. We used to smoke it non-stop. Now all you need is a one every hour or so between 4 of you. Big fan of the vape pens too.
