Alcohol

I cant believe you waste 1/4 bottle of wine ... thats sacrilige !!!!!

I tend to drink far too much, far too late, far too many nights a week .. i crawled home at 3am this morning for instance, the sound of the alarm 3 1/2 hours later was not a pleasant one :puke

Obviously not...I tend to drain every last drop! I just try and have a couple of nights a week where I can feel virtuous in that I have managed to abstain. Having said that, have a boozy lunch tomorrow which will undo the good work of tonight and yesterday!

Don't you swear at me :p

Got an idea OBL meant absinthe.

Now that I've never tried, used to be partial to pernod with lime and lemonade - it made you drunk on the way down and then repeated the effect on the way up!

I had a bad experience on absinthe in Prague last year, and I assure you absinthe does not make the heart grow fonder. I spent a very painful hour or two speaking to God on the big white telephone.:puke

I've had 3 or possibly four alcoholic drinks ever.

Know that feeling well, though it's a long time since I've needed it. My body just goes into shut down now when it reaches "maximum safe load" and my throat refuses to swallow any more alcohol. Quite useful these days really, know my limit and can't exceed it.

 

[canveyshrimper]

I think I have found my limit when I fall over, or worse when I am invited to join in on Karaoke.

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Same, I have the occasional beverage but I personally do not overly enjoy acohol.

Give it time lad....

Exactly you will go from masturbation to Magners to Merlot.

Well I recently (last weekend) discovered that wine in fact is the devil itself. I wondered if I would come through sunday alive after drinking Rose for practically the whole weekend. I tend to sip my way through 3 bottles easily I reckon and the other week I shared 5. this isnt big or clever I know but hey, I never learn!

So scrap the first sentence, one crate of Rose for the Spread on 3rd May please.

wheres the 'never' option?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Where's the "no particular pattern - some days I do, some days I don't" option?

Rarely drink on a Sunday or Monday, often have a pint on a Tuesday after choir, rarely drink on a Wednesday, often have a drink on Thursdays-Saturdays.

But everything in moderation. I try not to have more than two pints on the days that I do drink...
