I am more afraid of alcohol than of all the bullets of the enemy.
No party is complete without cocktails! My friends all have different tastes when it comes to their drink of choice, so I like to maintain a well-stocked bar with different kinds of alcohol to keep everyone happy.
I don't drink gases, like Coke - just juice and water, and I don't drink alcohol.
Another method of eating burning coals employs small balls of burned cotton in a dish of burning alcohol.
My unworldliness, even at 21, was abnormal. Not only had I never smoked tobacco nor touched alcohol of any description, but I had never yet set foot inside a theatre, or gone to a race course I had never seen, nor held a billiard cue, nor touched a card.

I am fussy, about my diet and straining my voice. I know, sounds a bit over the top. But I'm not as bad as I used to be. These days I don't drink alcohol for five days before a show - very dehydrating for the vocal cords, and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare.

I grew up in an environment where I could see the kind of havoc alcohol can create.
