I am drinking many bottles of Stella, playing online poker, and not doing work, eventhough my transfer report is due in in (?? 2 ins) 4 days (but it is very late: 00:47). Is this acceptable or appropriate behaviour (will forget i set this topic up in morning)

In that case, yes you should...

Always seems to be the way, Bazzab. Deadlines induce drinking, there's no way round it, I'm afraid. I always end up doing irrelevant stuff when I have shed loads of work to do too. At least you're aware of it

I find that whenever I ask myself the question "Should I be drinking right now?" the answer is always "NO". You never ask that question when the answer is "YES".

I have pondered this very same question. I meant to be submitting my thesis on Monday, and have woken up almost everyday this week with a hangover. Today is my first hangover-free day, so maybe there is hope for me yet!!

That dreaded thing - do whatever it takes to avoid it!!!
