When you decide to have a few beers on board at night, it requires careful planning. First off all you have to remember, where the beers are kept, you need a source of illumination so you can see where they have secreted themselves without your permission and thirdly you need to be able count over three.
On returning to the boat for a late night bevy, it is assumed that you are already three sheets in the wind and that a top up session is of paramount importance for your continued good health and bonhomie .As an aide de memoire, try to always put your beer in the same storage place for easy finding, otherwise you will be cussing like a trooper opening all manner of unnecessary cupboards only to find that suddenly the boat floor is littered with things that have tried to defend themselves by falling out off the cupboard often onto your hands and feet inflicting great pain, at your expense.
Secondly, you need a source of illumination such as a headlight carried by our trusty First Mate. The absence of such a light may cause the late night drinker to consume by accident Bog Blue, engine oil, cooking oil or washing up liquid or a cocktail thereof.
Finally it is a very drunken crew member who opens up more beer cans or bottles of beer than can be simultaneously drunk by the crew and any excuse offered such as futuristic planning is mere piffle! The main culprit causing this unwarranted behaviour is a beer from the Charles Wells brewery called Bombardier. This full strength beer is available cheaply in many supermarkets and is a preferred purchase of down and outs and other such social security parasites.
