During Lockdown, i've noticed my alcohol intake rise, and perhaps for two days of the week, waking up with my head feeling like a smeg 800 watt dough beater and suffering  Promtheus Plume reflux.Â
Being Autobahn Straight and true, i've been on 45-50 units a week, drinking 5 days a week, up from around 30 units over 3 drinking days a week, pre lockdown. Thus i'm currently over 3 times higher than The Chief Medical Officers guidlines of 14 units per week.
It's still less units than my pointless  existence as a Lloyds of London pin stripe shocktrooper in the 90's and noughties, but still Reckless for a 52 year old bloke with the internal organs of William Burroughs, Although i can't imagine Burroughs began his Dirty booze ulysses odyssey like me, In the Golden Fleece Manor park in 1983 with a pint of Double Diamond.Â
I found myself more or less in the same mould as Adrian Chiles in his Booze doc, 'Drinkers like me'.

Man alive, my alcohol consumption is pathetic these days. Six units a week perhaps?
Talk of drinking and pubs always calls this tune to mind:
"The froth from the beer is on his lip".
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
