Ricky Hatton’s Wisdom Leads Him To Binge Drink His Sorrows Away

The average loser will do whatever he can to forget his sorrows: cinema, a night out drinking with friends, “CSI” reruns. Manchester boxer Ricky Hatton things that’s all hogwash. If you really want to forget about a horrific experience, you need a solid four days of binge drinking to inflict the kind of amnesia that will get you through the rest of your life. After his defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last month, Hatton was asked if he’d ever box again. His response was a ferocious “duh”; and coupled with some binge drinking in Tenerife, Spain over the New Year, his career is sure to keep skyrocketing. Kudos.

Vowing to the Daily Mirror that his fighting career was not over, he declared: “You’ll see me again in the ring. Unfortunately I lost in Vegas but that’s the end of it.”
Then the multi-millionaire joked: “A few more drinks and I won’t remember anyway!”

Parents, this is the role model you want your children following. Take life by the horns, drink yourself silly when it fucks you over and then trudge on like the event never even took place! We do recommend a little moderation.

At the end of his titanic booze bout Hatton, 29, was reported to have sunk 57 pints, 17 vodka and Red Bulls, four vodkas, three whisky chasers, and a bottle of Moet champagne.

He was in Spain, so in comparison to absinthe shooting Euro dudes, Hatton kept his liver bludgeoning on the conservative side. His nickname is Ricky “Fatton” Hatton after all.
