Tequila boy

I have a friend called James Perkins. James likes to drink, often to the point where he forgets most things. Many mornings I’ve asked James; “Did you have a good night last night?” Many times James has replied to me; “I don’t know.”
In our first year, James built up a reputation as a charming young man, but on a night out he became a frightening menace of a chap, able to consume alchohol at the rate of a sieve, without even knowing he was doing it.
However, his reputation became shattered to pieces one Winter's evening in 2007. James came round to Doulton to play drinking Pro Evo (a football video game for all you crazy non football people). I had brought a bottle of sidekick in preparation for the occasion, and James brought tequila. That was his first mistake.
For whatever reason, James did not take kindly to the forthcoming tequila. After his first shot of the night, James’ face became pale, his speech inpaired, his Pro Evo “skills” turned into that of a legend, as he soon scored three goals past me with his goalkeepers. That’s not even a lie, he did it. I don’t even know how, it still haunts me to this day.
It was the second shot of tequila that secured James’ status as a Doulton legend though. The son of a gun downed it like a trooper, but within seconds of me turning round to pour the next set of drinks, he had Usain Bolt’d out of my room to the toilet, where to the disgrace of his high standards of life threatening drinking, he threw up.
What seemed at the time was just a funny story, soon became elevated when the next year of Doulton heroes moved in to RDYellow in 2008. I helped people them move in, and they met my friend James, where inevitably, the tale of his woe may have come up, repeatly, to the point where he developede the nickname “Tequila Boy.”
Tequila Boy is still greeted by his adopted name many a night in the LRV, and his greatest shame has since spurred him on to become one of the greatest drinkers many of us have ever seen. Long live Tequila Boy. And remember kids, don’t do drugs.
