I once worked with a guy who was a pretty heavy drinker - he didn't drink all the time, he'd often go days or weeks, even months without a drink and then suddenly take off on a horrific bender which would last for anything up to a week.<br />He was a very likeable cove, intelligent, witty and, when sober, very good company. I used to remonstrate with him about the booze. "Think about what you're doing to your liver, your brain cells", I'd say, "what if you have a stroke, doesn't it frighten you"? "Nope", he would say, "I only have one fear - that one day I will wake up with a hangover that never ever goes away, one that never ever gets better, that's the same, day in, day out."<br />And, you know - when you think about it - that really is a very frightening thought.Voltigeurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-58203636453133793112012-04-15T17:20:44.760+10:002012-04-15T17:20:44.760+10:00Know exactly how you feel - woke up on Tuesday fee...Know exactly how you feel - woke up on Tuesday feeling hung-over.

Ah! The membranous sac was his head, and the right side of his head was on the pillow, and the yolk was as heavy as mercury, and it rolled like mercury, and it was pressing down on his right temple… If he tried to get up to answer the telephone, the yolk, the mercury, the poisoned mass, would shift and roll and rupture the sac, and his brains would fall out.” <br /><br />Unsurprisingly, the character being described was a journalist of the yellow press variety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-31887108887473399042012-04-15T12:15:51.090+10:002012-04-15T12:15:51.090+10:00Lucky Jim: a fine novel and a great film.
