And so, drunken reprobate, off with your head!!

The first time that I was d.r.u.n.k. was off of Christmas sherry. I was about 13 or 14. I shared a set of bunks with Pete, my brother, and lying on the top bunk, after guzzling this stuff, was like being on a big dipper and a superfast roundabout. at the same time. My head just wouldnt stop spinning. Inevitably I threw up and inevitably th old feller, me dad, went barmy. Even though he'd once pissed on the fire and put it out! Put me off alcohol for almost a week.
