Multiple pancreatitis attacks plus a pancreatic pseudocyst for me Steve, plus other serious complications and two major open hepatobiliary surgeries. Started with the first pancreatitis hospitalisation on 21/12/05, haven't had a drink since. Don't miss it, except for my two or three sherries that I used to have while we cooked Christmas Lunch.

I learned the hard way that it's perfectly possible to have a great time without booze, and the added benefits are that I never get a hangover, and I never wake up next morning wondering what kind of a c**t I made of myself the previous night! 😄👍
