Be it through stress or the endless nights out, is it possible to avoid becoming an alcoholic in the weeks prior to moving to Aus?

Must say the wine does help with the list making............
And when the wine runs out the Bulmers Light takes over ('cos it aint that bad) and then it is the just one more syndrome.......which means what is in the cupboard.......
And I only wanted to make a list........

i think the answer is no. it is impossible not to become an alcoholic..do not try to resist it, alcohol will be your best friend before your imminent move, and probably on the flight...remember drinking at high altitudes...
lol.
well, its true for me anyway!i've been on so many nights out with friends recently , had two leaving do's and just can't say no when someone calls to me from the bar "fancy a quick half?"![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
ohh and Storms- wine is THE best beverage for list making, and then forgetting where your damn list is the next day lol

Don't forget, you can't take any alcohol with you so you must drink it all, it is your duty.
Clear out all the liqueurs and almost empty spirits and do the right thing. Drink!!!!

I'm for a refill, anyone for mulled wine.
