I'm new to the concept of watching sport on TV and drinking beer.
A funny thing happened a few months ago: I found myself in the supermarket thinking: "Tomorrow's The Grand Prix. I need to buy a couple of bottles of good beer."
I don't know where the fuck that thought came from; brainwashed by advertising most likely.
One problem that I have with this kind of drinking is that if you factor-in the build-up to a sporting event and the analysis afterwards, you can be sitting in front of the TV for between three and four hours.
I can drink myself into a coma in that time, but way before that happens there a point where I've had so much alcohol that watching any rapid movement becomes an uncomfortable experience.
Also if the game or whatever doesn't go your way and you're tanked up on alcohol, you're going to want to break something aren't you?
When I was a reckless teenager I came home drunk one night and shot the TV in my bedroom with a pistol crossbow (it stuck in the control panel).
There's an art to drinking in front of the tv; one I will spend most of my 30s perfecting.
