Sean Hughes: The thin line between drinks and ‘proper’ drinks
My friends were uncomfortable when I stopped drinking. It made them question their own habits
George Best: where did it all go wrong?
The other night, pretty drunk at the end of the evening, my friend asked if I wanted to go for a “proper” drink. Thank God those days are over for me now. I quit drinking totally for a couple of years because I was having too many “proper” drinks. I knew I was drinking too much when I had to be put out at a party. I don’t mean I was asked to leave. My jacket was on fire.
