No, it's the excuse you use when you have done silly things...

Anything can be bad for your liver - fried food, antibiotics etc etc etc.

Chocolate is addictive ...


Some people are just naturally silly.

Alcohol can make people depressed and not silly - where do you draw the line?

Tillybean is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: The drink that got you started.

My parents hardly ever drank, so I might have a snowball at christmas and that was it. They could stretch a bottle of Blue Nun for a couple of weeks at Sunday lunch. Sometimes my dad did homebrew which always smelt and tasted pretty disgusting.

First proper boyfriend when I was 17 introduced me to gin and russian, red wine and then pernod and black. He also tried to get me to drink real ale but I found it too harsh so started out with decent ciders courtesy of the Cambridge Beer Festival.

Now my drink choices are a decent, full bodied red wine; proper scrumpy as I am unable to drink beer; and a nice solid, peaty single malt.
