How old are you anyway?
So forget about the alcohol. Here's what I would do: find a pub in an backway ally somewhere in the mideval part of town, drink a lot (this is what you leave out) then write it off. Everything. Just write.
Don't. Take Fliakis' word for it. The man is mad and maybe too much porn lays at the foundations of his madness so it would be best if you didn't follow him down that particular path ;)
PS. No offence Fli
Visit the red light district or smoke some weed and go clubbing with the sole purpose of finding a one night stand.
EDIT: Come to think of it - that piece of advice may be a bit too Dutch to be any good to you. Sorry :D
