It was the having the two pretty women call me disgusting. That was what pushed me over the edge. And what was true for me is true for people in general. I mean, I know we've got the vaping issue now is a new issue, but smoking cigarettes, it became low status and that's what stopped it.

Yeah, I suspect there is some truth in the argument that you hear a lot that it's to do with social media. I mean, God, when I was binge drinking when I was a teenager, there's no...
