Alcopops Tax

I did something pretty unusual on Saturday night.  Well, unusual for me. I had a quiet one.

Just another night of sparkling conversation, hilarious jokes and dignity. Picture: Brad Hunter

I declined various invitations to meet up with mates at a gig, a house party and a pub.  Instead I grabbed a likeminded friend whose liver also needed a night off. We headed to the cinema, donned some 3D goggles, sat through a pretty enjoyable movie and then headed home.

Why did I ‘waste’ a perfectly good weekend party-night? Truthfully I was tired and completely happy to just throw on my comfy jeans.
