I'd fight everyone for peanuts every other week and go out in a heap. Then, I would develop a bad drinking problem and spend every day at various pubs around Ireland. BUT, every other time someone wanted to buy me a pint for being such a warrior, I'd kindly ask for a fiver instead, run to the bank and put it right into an RRSP. If my liver held up, it would be roughly a trade off at worst.
