Mr. Biggles: If you are unable to drink for a whole long month, you should be really thankful as it saves you from damages to your liver, failure of the kidneys, a heart-stroke etc. It also of course keeps you mentally sane at home, on the roads and at your job. I met a Japanese engineer who had a serious drinking problem back home. His doctors had begun warning him. He took a job in S Arabia just so that he could kick the habit. After a couple of years on a project, he returned home a totally different man, turning back and thanking S Arabia.
