And for anyone reading who’s in a bad way right now, I’ll take you back to how I was in October 2017.

As well as my 4 daily beers, I’d buy a bottle of Gaviscon, an over the counter medicine for acid reflux, as I’d wake every night with burning stomach pains. This was either the beer or obesity or both. I was getting complaints about being late for work (lack of sleep, hangovers). I was 48 and not well at all physically. I weighed 240lbs (BMI 32).

It’s never too late to quit drinking, and not one person has ever regretted doing so.
