@don172 – ouch! I used to have Colin McCrea parties over at my old flat – I had a force feedback steering wheel, peddles, etc. – and it was brilliant! That must have been one hell of a hangover to give up booze for a month. The worst I’ve had say me going on the wagon for three weeks 
So basically you’re saying that you need booze for the good of your health. I wonder if we can get port on prescription?
