I believe that drinking makes your ears more vulnerable, which is
frightening, really, cos obviously when you're drunk you don't care
AND the noise is more damaging...THINK ABOUT IT! A friend of mine
suffers from tinnitus and let me tell you, it's hell.

Hmmm...tinnitus is irreversible, I'm told. Maybe Pete just didn't want
to do it...He IS a strange character isn't he?
