For some this is a typical evening, the rest will have to try harder. Unplug the phone, don’t answer the door and get down with your bad self. Stock up on ice, gather mixers if you need them, crack the seal and, inch by inch, take that proud bottle down. Take your own sweet time. Near the bottom you will discover a rich inner landscape you thought a barren desert. Explore it.

Oh I have done this many a time, if "by yourself" can be taken to mean, "without others nicking bits". There were times, in my 16th year, where we weould not consider it a good night unless such copious amounts had been consumed. It reached such a stage that my good friend Ellie and I could distinguish, by taste, the different types of vodka available to us. Bearing in mind we were not finacial sucsesses these were of the cheaper end of the market. A remarkable feat, as I'm sure you'll agree.

That amount of liquor does, as I'm sure you'll appreciate, result in a certain hazyness when attempting to recall exact details of such occasions, however, one memorable snippet comes to mind. One is of the occasion my friends and I had a fancy dress themed picnic in a park, and then headed up to the southbank. I definatly remember arriving there and flinging aside a bottle of scotch in disgust due to the fact it was empty. I remember opening
ottle of Malibu. I remember little else.
