An ardent drinker has claimed that he can quit anytime he wants; however, his behaviour suggests that he never wants to quit the booze.

Jonathan Downing, 42, truly believes he could quit alcohol if he wanted to.

‘It’s all about willpower and discipline, two qualities I have in abundance,’ he told us while supping his third beer of the afternoon.

Downing has made previous attempts to quit alcohol before, including a notable ‘Dry January’ that ended on January 3rd.

‘January 3rd fell on a Saturday though, so that wasn’t my fault,’ he claims.

The truth of the matter is that Jonathan bloody loves a drink and as long as he can remain a functioning alcoholic, who cares?

‘I’ll drink to that,’ said Jonathan.
