what’s going on, there’s normally a drinking thread at this point in the week, is everyone resting for christmas? i’m having the night off, by the way.

I’ve been ill. Just going to log off and nip into town for some pizza and something medicinal in red.

Just a couple I’ve been left in charge of cleaning duties ready for tomorrow’s early Christmas family bash. Me, I pod and a couple of cheeky ones!

phwooaaaarrr.. I wasn’t even considering it, but this thread has inspired me to go and make a brew..

cheers!

spiced rum tonight, with cranberry juice as a treat. 1st fruit juice since march….but it dont taste too sweet

home brew.

Would love to, but I banged my head on Wednesday and had concussion. Still a bit woozy so will see tomorrow night.

We’re just about to have some, errr, chocolate wine with our Tiramisu – oh, no sorry, it’s a “wine based drink”, only 87% of it is wine.

10 cans of Warsteiner to work my way through 😆

Man flu for last three days, just had a small glass of rioja and I am developing my taste buds again 😀

Me ,

1st drink in 12 weeks, gonna have some red wine and take out pizza!

On Ton’s indirect advice, I bought some Sailor Jerry’s spiced rum.

Only gone and left the bugger round my Dad’s, though.

Vodka and whatever mixer I can find it is then…

Just about to open my 2nd bottle of Bishops Finger, 3 for £5 at Co-Op

Saltaire Blonde 😛

2006, Hermitage, JL Chave

366 days since my last drink. Was a nice glass of Pauillac as far as I remember.

vedett extra blonde, bringing out my inner Belgian

I’m back. Les Dauphins Cotes du Rhone. Not as good as I remembered. Hey ho.

Really fancy a drink but absolutely knackered and adding alcohol to that would be a recipe for a migraine.

Beers on the go whilst making a curry from scratch. Onion, ginger, garlic, o hang on it burning..

Cusquena – gold of the Incas!

Think it’s my favourite of the “foreign” lagers you can buy in the supermarket. Either that or Tsingtao.

Stilled brewed in Peru from Andean snowmelt. None of yer “brewed under licence in the same big bevvy refinery as Carling” pish.

Currently drinking some SIS Recovery Drink!

A cheeky neat Blended Whiskey. I know, but it’s Sherry Cask Grants stuff that’s in Asda for £13.50 and it’s bloody lovely.

Port, ****ing loads of it, and cheese.

Messiah blasting away, Im either getting old or about to commit homicide.

Yes. A ‘Horses Neck’ – brandy and ginger ale. Lovely.
