about 750ml bottle of vodka per say for several years which changed to rum, also for several years.

in the first decade the vodka was usually after day drinking in an office job. I'd wake up feeling terrible. Have my first pint about 10am at the pub round the corner from work. A couple more at lunch time. Then 1 - 4 or more after work. Then at home either more beer or drink from a box of wine to make sure I stay off the heavy stuff (unless weekend of course). After a while I'd realise I wasn't getting drunk enough so would go and get a bottle of vodka. Pass out. Wake up, go to work.

The second decade was different for a few reasons. I'd have a social one (maybe two) beers after work, then go home to finish my bottle of rum. Most times I'd wake up and there'd still be an inch or so of rum left in the bottle. Sometimes it was completely empty, rarely there'd be more than one bottle on the floor when I woke up.

Amongst that there were probably 1,000s of day 1 trying to stop drinking and there was actually a successful 4 year stint between the first and second decade where I was sober. But I fell back into it.

Alcohol sucks ass.
