Friday, 5 October 2012. We are already in October and Christmas is fast approaching. Christmas is a time for cheer or so they sell it.

There are work parties, friends and family get togethers, and in general we have a little more time (less to do at work and some holidays). You don't have to drive tonight, do you?

Thursday, 27 October 2011. Alcohol - Scare Yourself With Numbers. Since deciding to be a moderate drinker, I’ve become more aware of a few facts about my drinking. A scary one was that I’ve been drinking heavily for about 25 years. That’s roughly 60 - 61% of my life.
