If I drank "15 pints of lager and several shots" I'd be dead. I'm 6'2 and 15 stone so I've plenty of body mass to water it down, and I'm not shy about having a drink or three, but that much alcohol would do me serious damage. How can a skinny sportsman who shouldn't really be drinking that often cope with that?
He sounds genuinely remorseful. He always struck me as a nice kid, no pun intended. Rimmo loves him to bits. Some sort of community gesture wouldn't go amiss.
Judging by the way he behaved, he couldn't cope with it. In my mind, a suspended sentence would be more meaningful if it were for two years or more
The law is **** these days and too soft. It shouldn't have said he was being "sentenced" if that wasn't going to be the case.
