I very rarely drink during the week. I’m up at 5.30am, which doesn’t lend itself to a few glasses of wine in the evening, and on the weekends I’m generally travelling for work. If I’m lucky I’ ll have a gin and tonic!

I went to college in NUIG and anyone who went there knows the stamina it helps you build with drink. I’m a saint now in comparison.

Generally drink is for an occasion, or if I go out for dinner I might have a glass or two of wine. The weekends that I have free to go out with the girls it would be a few drinks together, so I suppose it depends.

I would have a drink at the usual times: weddings, birthdays or celebratio­ns. Besides that it would be festivals or other social occasions, like a rare and precious night out when I don’t have an early start the next day.

Do I ever get drunk? Honestly, not often enough for my age. I think it was the pain of hangovers that turned me off drinking regularly. My hangover cure would be orange juice, bacon and fresh air.

I drink red wine, gin and tonic, or a vodka, sparkling water and lime.

I wouldn’t really use drink as a reward. I don’t seem to get that same unwind from alcohol that I hear people talking about. If I was told I could never drink again today it really wouldn’t bother me. If you took my coffee away though, that would be another story.
