When I'm bored, I drink. Apart from compulsory moments of abstinence. After bypass surgery, and also because of cholesterol and stuff, I have to be careful. Anyway, I'm not going to die. Not now. I still have energy. But if ever I start drinking I can't drink like a normal person. I can absorb 12, 13, 14 bottles per day. I was asked to tell the doctor about my consumption. So I said, 'here it goes'. It starts at home with champagne or red wine, before 10am. Then again champagne. Then pastis, maybe half a bottle. Then food, accompanied by two bottles of wine. In the afternoon, champagne, beer, and more pastis at around 5pm, to finish off the bottle. Later on vodka and/or whisky.|
