Drinking ruins your lungs, that is why they call it "drinking like a fish"

It feels as if you've smoked, even if you haven't. The old chest doesn't expand like it did the day before drinking. Keep this in mind when you are getting drunk and not smoking. You will still wake up short of breath. Get used to it. Drinking is bad for you. Smoking is, too. I'm not sure which is worse. Combine them and you are right out of luck.

Another sensible argument for banning smokers in pubs! Hurrah!

And drinkers!

or do you mean if you keep drinking you'll evolve into being able to breath underwater?

First of all, the proper term is "fish" not fishes. Second of all, how do you think they got that way? Drinkin!

Combine them and you make terrible, horrible music that will in no way sell millions upon millions of copies, because your lungs are all fucked. This has been proven time and time again throughout the history of pop.

People who smoke and drink also make terrible authors

it's all to do with the second law of thermodynamics

that's why when fish go above water they flip about, like pancakes!

Gills? Who's got the whisky bottle out?

Cod, I woke up with a terrible haddock this mornay. I'm not angling for sympathy, nor do I wish to carp, but I swear even my herring's been affected... and you wouldn't want to have smelt my breath this morning, let me tell you! Why oh did I go to that late night drinking plaice and perch on that barstool all night? I should have just walked out that dory, got on my pike and gone home, but then I've never been a Manta pass up a drink. Of course, I don't actually remember getting home. All I remember is lying in my bed listening to a Salmon Dave record then turning out the lamprey and... nothing, till the first ray of sunlight hit my face in the morning. Well that's it! No more drinking for me! I know what you'll say, "Change the tuna, we've heard that one before, eel be out on the piss again in no time". Well, okay, once I mullet over I might change my mind!
