I worked for three months and three days with the nastiest man I have ever met , and stayed sober the whole time - Nasty he might have been but it proved to me that no matter how much I enjoy a drink , it will NOT take over my life ! Now , if I am at a festival and the car is safely parked up , I can relax with as much booze as I like until its time to drive home ! I've worked (musically) with alcoholics and can only sympathise with anybody with the affliction .
