Partying and dancing have never been my thing, but drinking I could do with reasonable familiarity and skills. I decided to begin there.

I can party like a twenty-four-year-old but it takes me almost a week to recover.

There was a kindliness about intoxication - there was that indescribable gloss and glamour it gave, like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings.

I always think the opening moments of a party are the hardest, before everyone has had enough to drink.

I feel like today should be a perfect Meatball day... Let's just get wastey-pants!

There are more than enough legal drinking age adults out there for us to sell our alcohol to. We don't need kids drinking it frankly.
