A DAD is getting into the party spirit by doing repeated shots of Gaviscon.
Bill McKay, aged 43, who has spent days consuming nothing but meat, cheese, biscuits, chocolate and beer, is knocking back the shots grim-faced after belching acid.
He said: “Christ, that’s bad. Line up another one. Do one yourself if you want. It’s chalky, but that’s what you want.
“I’ve no idea why this happens, it’s completely random. I’ve been eating quite healthily, you know I had a banana yesterday? Was it yesterday? No, it was the 23rd.
“Rennies? Double-dropped two earlier, but they’re not really touching the sides. That’s when I broke a bottle of the good stuff out from the back of the bathroom cabinet.
“I think maybe some of those Quality Street were off. Or those pies. Perhaps it was a bad idea to finish off the pigs-in-blankets at 2am. Scuse me while I sink another Gavi.”
By evening McKay is expected to have abandoned his Ibiza ’02 shot glass and be swigging straight from the bottle.
