Are there no upsides to sobriety and responsible living?

When I sold radio ads, sometimes the party and work would become inextricably intertwined.

Yes, it doesn't aggravate my gout, I save money, and can back up those less responsible.

You can have a picture of my mate Rob though, he was in good form earlier.

My Cousin was a tower crane 'driver' he reckoned the worst part of the job was the daily inspection of the pulleys at the end of the boom, this involved walking to the far end of it to check them.

Other than that he wasn't too happy about having to wee into a plastic bottle if you needed one either. (he'd be up there for 8-10hrs)

He's much happier now that he's the Site Agent (the boss) not to mention being a lot richer.
