When I was doing my gym instructor course, I was amazed at how unhealthy some of the other students were. At least 6 out of the class of 26 were heavy smokers, most of them with the exception of about 4 or 5 would think nothing of getting pissed regularly.
It was quite funny one morning, a Saturday, when about 15 of them had been out for a Friday night bender. They had also been shagging like rabbits, so I heard. Lots of red faces that morning! The Saturday was the last day of the course and the tutors got us to do 3 cardio workouts in one day. I was pissing myself laughing at the hungover ones who were trying to stop themselves from puking after 5 minutes on the treadmills or cross trainers.
A few of the younger ones were thinking of going on to becoming personal trainers. God help us!
Maybe I am just an old whinger, but if I was forking out good money for something like this, I wouldn't want someone teaching me who was smelling of cigarette smoke or who was hungover from the night before.
I can't understand why people drink excessively to the point of making themselves ill.
The old man can quite easily sink 2 bottles of wine in one go, and by that I mean within about 90 minutes. Yes, TWO BOTTLES!
Might not seem much to some people but the damage it's doing to his liver will probably be permanent in about 5 years' time. It's not just him though, some of his CID colleagues drink alot more than he does. They can start at 3pm and go right through to 3am. I have known some he's worked with in the past who force themselves to be sick just to make room for more alcohol.
He hides a bottle in the outside recycle bin until he's finished the first, then hides the second, when he's opened it, down the side of the sofa near the window.
When they collect the recycle bins next week, I might sort out all the empty wine bottles just to see exactly how much he's had in two weeks. Leave them lined up outside the house for the neighbours to see as well.
