https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Werbeniuk#Alcohol_consumption
Alcohol consumption
Werbeniuk was noted for the copious amounts of alcohol he consumed before and during matches – at least six pints before a match and then one pint for each frame. In total, he drank between 40 and 50 pints of lager per day.[2][4] Doctors advised Werbeniuk to drink alcohol to counteract a familial benign essential tremor.[5] Later in his career he also took propranolol, a beta blocker, to cope with the effects of his alcohol consumption on his heart.[6]
Some of Werbeniuk's most famous feats of drinking include: 76 cans of lager during a game with John Spencer in Australia in the 1970s;[2] 43 pints of lager in a snooker match/drinking contest against Scotsman Eddie Sinclair in which, after Sinclair had passed out following his 42nd pint, Werbeniuk was reported to say "I'm away to the bar now for a proper drink";[7] 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames during a match against Nigel Bond, in January 1990 – after which Werbeniuk then consumed an entire bottle of Scotch to "drown his sorrows" after losing the match.[2]

Eddie Sinclair. I was playing in a league match in the Q club Charring x Glasgow.
Watched him play another guy who he was giving a start to take a right few quid off him.
The other guy seemed well known but can't remember his full name Matt was his first name.

Just remembered it Matt Gibson. Googled him, he was a pro as well.
The reason I looked him up was because HIGNFY mentioned him when talking about Joe Johnson winning in 1986: The quote being:
‘Now this is how bad I was. In 1985, the year before I won, I went to the Crucible for the World Championship and drew Bill Werbeniuk in the first round. Bill had barely won a match all year and he liked a drink, did Bill.
‘Before our game I saw him in the bar and I asked the lady at the counter how many he’s had. Eight pints. I’m thinking to myself, “Oh lovely”. On top of his eight pints, he had a pint for every frame we played, which turned out to be 18. By the end he had drunk 26 pints and he only went and won 10-8. Like I said, that’s how bad I was.’

I'll give that a look later.
Played quite a bit JC. Lots of breaks in the 40s and 50s biggest was 87 but didn't have enough free time to improve on that.
Lost interest when I had to resort to glasses.

87 is impressive aka.
However I beat a bloke who defeated a world champion several times.
I was receiving 49 start, however, but no mean feat.

I preferred billiards tbh Kenny but was not many played it that I knew.
Couldn't get the hang of that. The bloke I beat was in the annual Christmas handicap tourny at work.He turned over Joe Johnson regularly in the Bradford WMC league.
We used to play with the small skittles on the table. That was a great game.
I must admit steve davies retirement brought a tear to my eye. End of an era, for me 
2 gallons = .. 16 pints? Depends over how long a time. But 5% lager... he might've been on 4%.

just checking fair enough whole day and night but hard graft
I normally drink 5% lager so .. 4/5 * 16 = 12.8 5% pints.. call it 13.
I could do 16 pints of 4% over a day, but I'd be pretty s**t at snooker!

4% kills ma body , drank about 15-20 fosters last summer lol next few days it was like i was on a comedown from speed which is horrible if you ever took it you will know how bad i felt.
I don't drink every day or anything like every day, but when I drink more often I notice my tolerance does go up and up, it's not a myth. So if you were drinking every day, and you're overweight anyway, I suppose you can just drink more and more?
I don't like weak beer anymore, it just seems like you spend more time going to the toilet than enjoying yourself.
i have hardly drank this year compared to the last 15-16 and i say im normal weight , its not just the beer its the fat fooks who eat like fook and blame the beer , av got a beer belley they say but in reality its the food they consumed during it and never walk
i made a century once,it brings a tear to my testicles when i recall it

"tear to my testicles" sounds like a really dodgey gothic ghey band.
i got a 180 once straight out my bed when a teenager and i told people no one believed me but did i care no , because i got it and i know i did lol but i got tanked , but i followed it up with a few wall shots and a ceiling
i did have my board a few fet closer than the real ones though does that count
I must admit though, I went off snooker when Hendry started winning everything.
It is like with formula 1 when lewis hamilton won all those races, it gets boring. Plus I could never warm to him as a person either. Can't stand those diamond studs in his ears, pansy

I think is more three sheets to the wind than jumpers for goalposts 
Agree, TheChaser, formula 1 is mainly all about the car.
I never like F1, never really interested me. Rally maybe a bit. But not F1.

But chaser, the people who built those flats, built the schools, that's local goverment.
That's the SNP, Labour etc, whoever was in power then. They are given big piles of money and spend it.
Nothing to do with the tories or the UK etc?
So your "out" vote was to reward the people who were incompetent and built that rubbish in the first place?

I now it was labour who handed the contracts i now that but labour where handed from above , its one party all in different colours , dont you think
Theres a reason "Grass is always greener" became an expression, and it's not because the SNP are any good.

my mate opened a snooker club in Burton around 83-84, and he fancied getting a celeb in to officially open the club. The late Lenny Ganley was my uncle's double partner before he started refereeing, so I asked him to get Lenny to come and see my mate and see if he could help him out, Len was always very partial to outside earners. Len agreed that he would get a current pro to open the club and even play a couple of members with Lenny refereeing. My mate was gobsmacked when Lenny said there would be no fee involved, they would do it for free booze all night and a slap up meal. Len turned up with big Bill and then my mate realised why there was no charge. Afterwards he said it may have worked out cheaper booking Duran Duran to have done it. Len started doing adverts for Carling Lager around this time, oh how we laughed when we read the interview that Len hadn't drunk in 20 years, what a character

"Anna Begins". The reason BF annie didn't marry me is because I bought the wrong shirts? :(
I think. Ok that's a complete lie :) It's because she wouldn't iron them
On a serious note, "anna begins" is a song by a very good band!
