Tonight, I'm going to stay up late, watch Prometheus and get bladdered on a Heineken with Jack Daniels chaser cocktail.

What y'all up- to beer wise?

So... Soooo, do cocktails count??

Peroni. Somehow we've ended up with three boxes of it so it'll be my stock answer to the question "what will you be drinking" for some time to come...

And yes, cocktails count double - as long as they are either a) fruity or b) multi-coloured in layers.

Yeah But, yeah but.. my choice is fizzy lager or..fizzy lager, now you can't expect me to drink that syrup..

To be fair, I get quite tipsy on cocktails, they tend to be based around Whiskey or Brandy or Rum.. then I get all silly and start saying things like "I LuV U Man" often to MrsBouy..

We're talking about cocktails, and so a certain degree of XXedness is already assumed. Given that, we go for the cool cocktails, which as above are the fruity and / or multicoloured ones! :mrgreen:

Instead of buying 4 cans of Stella, which I normally drink 3 of after my night rides, the last time and for tonight I have purchased one can of something else. Tramps and drunks the Uk over swear by it, it's Carlsberg Special Brew! 9% abv!!! I quite liked it the other night and sipped over the course of an hour or so it's very nice.
Does this make me an alcy? 😳

This thread is what you call peer pressure. I'd been doing so well this week. Not a drop of alcohol has passed my lips.

After reading this thread I'm drooling like Homer Simpson.

My in-case-of-emergency Eden Brewery Ale finished in Edradour whisky casks might find itself getting another finishing tonight.
