The other big problem with booze is that it's an appetite stimulant, hence the tendency to think a pizza, burger, kebab etc. is a great idea after a night on the pop
I have a cunning plan to deal with that. If I know I'm heading out for a night on the sauce, I have a light meal beforehand knowing full well that I may succumb when running the gauntlet of takeaways on the way home, or go rummaging through the paper recycling box, when I get in, for the latest free delivery pizza brochure that came through the letterbox.
