Make friends with some Muslims, seriously. Shisha bars, decent weed and good food beats getting plastered any day of the week.

The only Muslim girl I know I met via work and she has the craziest perky tits known to mankind. She's seriously into dubstep though. Seriously off-putting.

nope never i was close to 100 units last week, + working full time just do kcider/tennents when home, as for tax i would probably be dead if we had the same tax on them as say Holland, i visit a few times a year and u pay 9.60~ euros for a pack of 38 fags and crates (16) off 5.2% jupiler for like 14 euros and 4 euros for the crate back, so really 10 euros, i was doing 6L frosty jacks at worse 45 units, if the price of tennents and frosty jacks etc was raised i would prob just drink a beer a like instead of just shopping for most punch for the pound
I'd buy liter bottles of 40% Jenever for 7 or 8 euros. Or a tray with twelve liter of generic watery pilsener.
In the long run though, all this flavored stuff is more expensive than getting pure ethanol...

Yes -- and it's very easy to forget you're drinking it .....

An hour with a few materials and a large section of sheet copper would give you a basic still, a large bucket with a lid and you're on your way to making moonshine.

As most of you know i'm read Kerry Katona n apparrently, they told her she was an alcoholic, even though she binged n didn't drink all the time.

It's a fine line between hobby and blindness though..

It's methanol that causes blindness not ethanol. Unless you're brewing up tree bark or summat you're fine. Me and a friend used to distill our own spirit regularly. Dead easy to make a rather tasty drink that packs quite the punch.
Quite interestingly, the treatment for methanol poisoning is an IV infusion of ethanol.

The problem with building an alcohol still is usually the boiling vessel. You can make a Liebig condenser out of two different diameter copper pipes and reducing tees. But you need a boiling vessel big enough to hold several litres of your c.10% alcohol solution if you want a sensible yield.

We used an old copper boiler and copper tubing spiralled through a large plastic tub of ice water. Usually boiled up around 8 gallons of source material (usually homebrew beer) which produced... actually can't recall how much spirit but certainly well worth the afternoon's work I can assure you

Not necessarily. If you're using a makeshift still with whatever grain, fruit or spud of choice, you're well advised to dump the first runnings, as they could well contain a significant concentration of methanol.

The fermentation process does produce small amounts of methanol, propan-2-ol, propan-1-ol and maybe even butan-2-ol and butan-1-ol if you're very lucky; the longer-chain ones (i.e., all save methanol) boil hotter than ethanol.
You need a thermometer with its bulb (if an old-fashioned liquid type) or probe (if an electronic type) level with the inlet of the condenser. Then just don't put your catch vessel in place under the spout, until the temperature reads 78 degrees, and take it away sharpish if the temperature begins rising.

I stopped for 2 months a year ago. Was a good 2 months tbh, today I stop again. I can't afford my drinking financially, I smoke like a cunt while I drink too so...
Yeah benefits of not drinking are great, you can remember what you did the previous night, who you talked to etc etc. If you do something embarrassing you do it sober, and the crushing anxiety next day of "oh fuck no, did I really do/say that?" is non-existent.
You don't make bad decisions concerning sex.
After a heavy night of drinking I tend to find clues of what I was up to that night. I'm like "oh yeah, I tried to cook eggs", almost like those treasure map things they give to kids.

Because you don't want anything that boils hotter than 78 degrees (and therefore, definitely is not ethanol) in your final product.
