XABF said he was going for "a pint" after work or whatever. I'm notorious for taking things literally, so I would be so mad when he didn't come home until 5am stinking of booze and unable to walk. LOL.
I feel like I've acquired an internal babel fish over the last 8 years that translates his drunklish for me into terms I understand. "going for a pint" becomes "won't be home tonight". "Might meet X for a drink later" becomes "definitely going to get out my face later". "Just one more then we can go" means "I'm not leaving until the bells has well and truly gone and the bouncers have to help me out onto the street" etc etc
