Thanks Doc, really appreciate your benevolence, you could at least have left one pretty one!

Another BIG Danger of drinking too much.

You go to bed with a beautiful woman and wake up with the most horrible looking tart you have ever seen.

Yes Ivan it is all part of the course i am afraid heavy drinking can cause all sorts of problems especially in the bedroom,
I have personal experiences of the problems in the bedroom,
I have fallen over bedside cabinets / Smashed lamps/ Fell out of bed on many occasion/ And sometimes never made it to the bed at all/ SHHH There is always that next morning when the Jolly Roger is up before you..................... :bigsmile:

its the little head that gets you into trouble the drink wears off the next day, but a snotty nose takes six week to get better, with a cure from dr rossy

I have this theory.
When you are drunk, the world seems great, you are in excellent form, you feel no pain in fact you do not have a care in the world.
You wake up the following morning, your head is fuzzy, your mouth is like a gorillas armpit, you feel lethargic, I believe the symptoms are caused by sleep. There is no other explanation.

Hi Robert.
When I was at sea in the 50\60s I can't remember having any beer at sea, even if there had been I don't think I could have afforded it on my wages. But as for if your Father could have had drink of course he could. Here is one tale of an alcoholic when I was on the NZ coast, trading across the Tasman to Aus we had an AB who filled his cabin up with crates of beer, he used to take the tops off the bottles as he liked his beer flat for some reason.
While we were waiting to sail from Auckland he would go to Farmers, a large store and buy a Mower on HP he would then sell the mower cheap to get money for booze, he always paid the mower off as this gave him credit to buy something on HP when he was broke, he did his job and as far as I can remeber was always there for his watches.
I don't know what he would have been like if he had been on one trip with us as we took 400,000 dozen cans of lager from Melbourne to Fiji and the mate forgot ot lock the mast-house .
Cheers Des

As long as you didn't throw the cans over the side Des there wouldn't be too much comeback as the insurance would probably have paid up. If no empty cans or bottles would have been an expensive legal fight, or the shipowner take the loss and sack the mate. Found this out the way of all ships carrying such. We used to carry vast amounts of alcoholic drink around the West Indies From Montreal. Was told not to discard the empty cases as they would be tallied to prove it was pilferage and not a case of not being loaded in the first place. Proof is always the first thing the insurance companies look for. Cheers JWS.

Hi John.
Only trouble with that they might have wanted to x-ray our stomachs, and then charge us with pilfering.
