  • 10-20 double whiskys in one sitting? plus some beer?

    Jesus H, you need help mate. Alcoholics drink less than you do.

    Possibly... or you might be next on my list! :whistle: The Scottish accent is lovely (to me, at least). But I'm a wee sassenach lassie; what do I know?! ;)

    Absolutely; which is why I strongly suspect troll-posting. I get through more Scotch than perhaps I ought to at times, but I cannot see how anyone could drink that level of whisky in one night and not end up in hospital.

    Is it nearly term-time yet...?

    20 doubles is 40 single measures. You get 28 in a regular bottle. So you drink nearly 1.5 bottles of whisky plus a couple of pints and I'm sure you said some shots too?

    Think someone is telling porkies!

    Your reasoning that you don't do it that often, only 2-4 times per month? 4 times a month is the same as once a week surely?

    I'm surprised your liver hasn't run away screaming.

    or have you asked your bank if they'll increase the overdraft?

    They're unlikely to agree, given:-
    I'm already at max overdraft.

    What a dreadful suggestion - payday loans have their place for some people for unexpected emergencies and they have nowhere else to turn.
    The OP wants to drink more alcohol, hardly an essential spend.
    What APR are these loans you are recommending? (I assume these are the same ones available via your homepage)

    Maybe Jony1 wasn't expecting the OP to survive the massive holiday-binge he's going to go on, so assuming he wouldn't care about paying 3000% interest rates on a payday loan??

    He's a spammer building his post count.
    "Facism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you...

    Serious replies only please, as I've already stated - I'm 100% taking money on credit. I'm just looking for the best options.

    I think you should go down the route of a bank overdraft
