Lemmy:

I don't even get drunk anymore. A kid once said to me, "Do you get hangovers?" I said, "To get hangovers you have to stop drinking."

Journalists are the worst drinkers in the world. Or were. Rock journalists are a really boring crowd now. Sit around drinking bottles of fucking Evian.

There's a fine line between a heavy drinker and an alcoholic. Just like there's a fine line between just fishing and standing on the bank looking like an arsehole. The line is whether the fuck you know what you're doing when you drink- 'cos if you don't know what you're doing, you just become a terrible boring drunk. Whereas if you know when to stop you become come an amazing, anecdotal man of the world. Which is better than being the guy having a shit in the bath tub.
