I feel like I drink less than I ever did. My tolerance for alcohol is definitely lower than it was this time two years ago. I do less binge drinking and more social drinking.

I don’t drink to get drunk, I actually like enjoying a beer every now and then. But then again, ask me on a Hangover Sunday and I will tell you I’m never drinking again!

How much I drink depends on the time of year. When it’s Christmas, I would usually consume a lot more alcohol than I would during the year.

I get drunk the odd time; I would describe me being drunk as me being tipsy. I don’t like being too out of control! I have had many hangovers. I would describe them the same way I would describe a maths test — some are easier than others but there’s always a formula that can help you out!

Is there really a cure for hangovers? I don’t think so, and I don’t think it’s at the top of the medical agenda. But, for me, I always cure a hangover with brunch, lunch, food, anything I can eat really. I also think a good laugh with friends helps a lot!

My favourite non-alcoholic drink is a glass of milk. My favourite alcoholic drink is a beer. Sometimes a drink is the perfect treat after a long day. There’s nothing like a cold beer.

Drinking is something I enjoy doing, but it’s not the be all and end all. I could definitely imagine myself not drinking in a few years time — there’s no better feeling than a Saturday and a Sunday without a hangover. I can’t imagine having a hangover with kids, so when I have kids I’ll be selective with my hangover days!
