I drank again after 2 years.
Bought a six pack, drank 4 of them and went to bed.
Woohoo... A couple of years off was the answer..... Or so I thought.
4 years later, I drank 9 beers, 9 bourbon and cokes, 6 shots of tequila, 5 drambuies and according to my bank balance, there was more but I'd blacked out by then.
I was too drunk to walk, so I drove 40km home in a blackout, finally falling asleep at the wheel about 1km from home and stuck my car in a ditch with 4 feet of water in it.
Climbed out the window, cause I couldn't open the door, went home and carried on drinking.
4 drinks to 40 drinks in 4 years.
Be careful would be my advice.
