Not as dangerous as coming home p1ssed and turning on the shopping channel. 3 weeks later you are sat in your 18th floor flat wondering what the feck to do with your deluxe patio furniture set.

"New from K_Tel, the Rubics (cube) adapter, takes the average user 4 hours (sober)to solve the "cube" ...Before the adapter will allow electricity to flow,
Just scramble before going out and hey presto.**ed you will fall asleep before being able to use it!!!


Apart from that I don't know what you can do. Done it Once myself!!!!

I never drink more than 1 pint if I go racing. Unbelievable the number of people drunk on the train to Ascot before each meeting there.

I don't have a prob betting while drunk, except for the odd late footie or snooker when it's on the telly. Lost money doing that.

My prob is not sticking to a strategy when I hit a losing run. For instance, let's say I back 4 losers to every winner, but the average price of the winners is 5/1. That means the profitability is 20p in the £. This ought to be gambling nirvana. However, with 80% losers, there will be long losing runs. I always get distracted and frustrated when I hit one and start having bets I shouldn't.

My way of ensuring I keep my discipline is simple. I won't bet unless I am at the racetrack itself. And I stick to it. Many a bad bet I used to have when bored at home is now in the past.

Don't get bored at home any more - set quiz questions when I'm here these days !

I've only ever been p1ssed once at the races, and that was at Longchamp after 4 winners on the bounce (sadly not a regular occurence). I like to stay sharp. You could miss something, a tote anomaly, a stable running like they were sick, a fav getting worked up (although I'm not much of a paddock watcher) - lots of things. I enjoy a beer, but I'd rather save most of it for after racing, especially at Cheltenham. I usually wait until at least the 4th race is over and usually only then if it is coming out of my own winnings or those of who I am with.

casemoney, Dragon,I know I should not take solace in the fact that I'm not the only one, but it is perversely comforting.

Bookies aren't supposed to take bets from anyone who is drunk.
