“Wire your booze cabinet up to the mains so you can’t get into it!” says Jason Fox, the former Royal Marine Commando and Special Forces Sergeant who’s best known for barking orders on Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins.
With wine o’clock starting earlier each day for many of us, as we crawl the walls in isolation, I’ve asked Jason for his take on lockdown drinking. “It’s not the answer really. It’s great fun and I enjoy having a drink, but I won’t allow myself to drink all day. It doesn’t make you feel better about yourself.”
Having spent sizeable chunks of his 20-year career sardined in submarines with other men, “sat on top of each other in the pitch black;” and having rowed across the Atlantic for 50 days, with four other guys, on a boat just six metres long, it’s perhaps unsurprising that Jason is unruffled by the Coronavirus putting us all under house arrest.
