Last Man Standing

by Stephen Leather

‘By the time you can really afford to eat and drink the finer things in life, the doctors are telling you that they’re all bad for you. When I was in my twenties I ate nothing but fast food and drank cheap beer and whisky. Now I can afford a decent steak and Châteauneuf-du-Pape and they tell me red meat is a killer and two glasses of wine is my limit.’
