[Bill Douglas]

It's not actually me, it's a friend of mine... Well actually it is. My GFs buddy tends to share a bottle of wine most late afternoons with her mom. Her husband gets a bit pissed off with her as he's fairly much a non drinker and dosn't like the way she's a little bit sozzled and in charge of two young kids. My GF said to me she thinks she's got a problem and I said I don't think she has as it's only 1/2 a bottle and it doesn't do any harm other than annoy her husband.

But it's all about how you see a situation. My GF comes from a family that doesn't drink much and I come from a family of big drinkers. My dad had cut down to only 5 litres a day before he died. In fact he had so much alcohol in his body when we cremmated him it took 2 weeks to put out the fire.

I really watch my drinking as I'm the first Douglas in 6 generations of our family not to be an alcoholic. I tend to have one glass of wine with dinner every second evening, and half or three quarters of a bottle on a night out.
