Drinking can be a bad idea at the best of times, I have lost count of the times things have gone wrong when I've had one too many. I remember drinking in Newhaven one night a couple of years or so back. I had been to the off license beforehand and had some strong cider stashed for the bus home, which I obviously missed. After doing the whole session in the boozer I found myself having to walk home. Trouble is I was somewhat disorientated and had to stop a gang of youngsters for directions. I tried to remember what they said, but after walking for well over an hour found out that I was heading towards Lewes and not Brighton. I decided to take a shortcut back accross some feilds and clambered over a barbed wire fence and hedge next to the roadside, straight into a six foot deep ditch, it was next to a cowfield and the water was up to my chin in really smelly water. Worse still my feet were stuck in deep mud and I was seriously panicking. I managed to grab some bramble bushes and barbed wire and scrambled out, cutting my hands and fingers as I struggled. I still had the bag with the cider in it, but the mobile phone in my pocket was knackered. A car stopped but the driver refused to let me get in because I was soaked and stank to high heavens. Then I was stood in the itch dark in the middle of the road starkers wringing out my clothes and putting them back on. After walking back to Newhaven drinking my cider I managed to get a taxi home.
It took three baths and a shower to get the filth and the stink off me, but upon reflection I know I was lucky. It wasn't my first narrow escape or my last, as you get Oder andmore experienced you learn your lessons. Unfortunately you forget all you have learned after about eight pints.
My advice is to avoid gettning rat arsed unless you are in familiar suroundings with people you know and trust. So unless you know you can stop after just a couple of bevvies and won't be tempted to let go and get pissed, don't drink when swinging.
