An Irish alcoholic, who has spent the last eight weeks in rehab, has claimed that he currently gets the same buzz from drinking tea as he did from drinking vodka.
Aaron Masterson, a forty five year old plasterer from Dublin, believes that the caffeinated beverage could be the key element to his sobriety.
“I’ve been on and off the drink for years now, this is about my fifth time getting sober and I can honestly say that it’s been made ten times by the tea,” explained Aaron after Wunderground managed to get exclusive access to the rehab clinic. “I’m having about thirty cups a day at the moment, with about five tea bags in each cup. That would normally cost a fortune but the best thing about this place is the tea is completely free.”
“Honestly after about four or five teas I do be buzzing of my tits,” claimed Mr Masterson. “I’m telling you I’m getting the same buzz, if not a better one, from the tea than I used to get of a couple of vodkas. To think of all the times I’ve turned down cups of tea in the past. It makes you think about your life and the choices you’ve made, you know what I mean? It’s nothing but tea from here on for me.”
“I might even go back to work in a couple of months after discovering how good tea can be,” continued a rejuvenated Mr Masterson. “I was never able to drink vodka on the sites, everyone always said ‘Aaron you’re a plasterer, you can’t be getting plastered in work’ but no one’s going to question me having a few cups of tea. I really feel like I’m getting my life back on track and it’s all thanks to tea.”
