p*ss up at the brewery..

Alcohol tolerance falls off with age and lack of practice. I rarely drink now.

I'm sure your right. Many decades ago when I played cricket, I met a man who was truly an International genius at the game, he later went on to distinguish himself for his country. Before I left the UK, we met up for a 'pint or two'. He amazed me, at only a year my junior he quaffed at the same level as we'd done in our twenties. Twelve pints each, when I gave up. Boy did I feel terrible the next morning. It took me a week to fully recover and I don't remember the three hour train journey back the next day at all. My compatriot does this at least twice a week! He's far fitter and healthier than me and looks twenty years younger!

I should add I rarely drink, not because I'm against it, but I don't like what it does to me these days ...

My compatriot does this at least twice a week  ! He's far fitter and healthier than me and looks twenty years younger..!

Almost exactly his wife's comment too!

Hmmm. If it's that good for your health we should maybe get it on prescription.

Don't laugh. Our geriatrician, Dr. (on second thoughts, I have deleted his name), was a Muslim and, naturally did not  drink. One of his patients, an elderly lady, suffered from DTs and the nursing staff told him she really needed a hair of the dog, so he prescribed gin - 10 ccs of it! I guess it's the thought that counts!
