Re: GAZZA'S been researching this for years...
Actually, I read several different stories about G D, and he drinks everything, vodka, whisky, pastis and even mentions beer:
"He added: 'Then food, accompanied by two bottles of wine.
'In the afternoon, champagne, beer and more pastis at around 5pm, to finish off the bottle.
'Later on, vodka and/or whisky. But I’m never totally drunk, just a little p*****d.
'All you need is a 10-minute nap and voila, a slurp of rose wine and I feel as fresh as a daisy."
