So Valentines day is just around the corner, it’s a time of year when usually one of two things happen to every person in the western world. Those with a significant other flaunt it like a pair of knickers at a Tom Jones gig and those that don’t have a special person in their hearts become a member of the lonely hearts club band, singing through the night about how great it is to be single.
Though there are variations of mental breakdowns on Valentines day there is one thing that is sure to help. Alcohol.
Alcohol makes you looser, it encourages the hope of finding of love and it gets those who are in love through the day when the eyes of the world expect them to act like loves young dream.
Then again it is just another excuse for a drink.
