I wondered where you went?
You should have told me. I could have made a fortune selling tickets.

Strong winds or an invisible girlfriend?

That appeared to be a definate uphill battle. One must wonder just how drunk this guy needs to be before he just lays the body down and sleeps it off.

That;'s my saving grace Miles. I can never get that intoxicated as I fall asleep after a little too much, a very little
too much in fact.

I suppose they mean the same thing; the tolerance to your alcohol intake decreasing.

Sure lovey. Of course they mean the same thing.
One occurs when a heavy drinker develops liver damage and the liver no longer produces as great a quantity of the enzymes needed to break down alcohol in the body as it did before.
One occurs through ageing.
I am sure you meant
nothing when suggesting that my husband had an alcohol problem, nothing at all.

I think I am beginning to get a bit intolerant.
I think I'll go and have a drink.

It's a medical condition; after a long period of substance abuse, the intake affects the user much more quickly and strongly. Meaning they can drink less, but feel it more - the reversing of the tolerance build up they may have had before.

LMAO - Hmmm... he can only see my posts...
We were talking about umm... the Archbishop of Canterbury Strop.
Also Lo, that thing about Strop, the bucket of soapy frogs and the koala suit with the arse cut out has never been proven so you really shouldn't repeat it here. I also think it was unfair of you to describe him as a sheep-shagging, leek munching choirboy whose only redeeming feature is that sometimes he is asleep!
For shame!

No Lo. Gob isn't the alcoholic in this thread.
That would be the man in the clip he posted.
