I Rarely Have A Drink
« on: 10 December 2023, 12:52:50 »

But today I decided to have a JD and coke with lunch.

Only ever tried JD once before at a mates many years ago and quite enjoyed.(With coke)

Generally Whiskey &  Brandy plus others give me heart burn, but whilst doing a shop during the week I saw an offer of it in a can and bought a few.

Christmas may have started early. :y

I didn’t even know that they sold JD and coke in a can. I’ve had a bottle of JD, a bottle of Glenmorangie and a bottle of Glenfiddich in my cupboard for years. They were gifts but I don’t drink spirits of any kind, apart from when I’ve got a cold and have hot toddy’s.  :)

I think most of us do, I must have at least a dozen bottles of wines plus Brandy, Southern Comfort, Canadian Club etc. (Must be close to 35/40 bottles some never even opened)

When we were teenagers and I had passed my driving test we used to go to a restaurant in Rotherham and would enjoy a glass of wine or 2, that crept up to just ordering the bottle. :y

Then Lorraine Chase started adverting Campari, took a shine to that.  (Tried it again a few years ago and gone off it comepletely)

Then over the years with Christmas and New Years partys and any other excuse for a piss up, I tried this and that as you do.  ::)

Wine wise I did like Muscadet, but then realised that year was a good vintage.

In the 80's I had a business with odd trading hours (Chippy) and when we shut down after midnight there was nothing on tV in those days.  So would rent a couple of videos, Buy in a bottle of Purnod/Cider and a bottle of blackcurrent, (That was for me - Or a bottle Bicardi and some coke)) Plus 4 cans of Heineken and a 1.5 Ltre bottle for her.

Have enjoyed the odd social drink since then but Alcohol, I tan take it of leave it.
(Thinking back my Colledge days were fun - Out of class and straight to the boozer - Or club for a game of Snooker. 1 lunch was 1 of 2 vomiting sesions that I ever suffered from drinking - the 2nd was my mates fault on his Stag do - but wasnt intentional)

I had to fill in one of those stupid questionaires to get seen by a quack earlier in the year, and one of the questions was about units per week.  I answered zero.

They quizzed me on it, saying nobody can be zero.

I confirmed that most weeks, my alcohol intake is zero, but I save all my units up and have them all in one night every few weeks ;D.  That said, I don't think I've been on a real, proper bender since before the pandemic. Reformed character, me.

I was a bit of a boozer in my youth, but rarely drink these days unless I go out.  ::)

Can't cope with the hangovers any more.  :-X

I usually have a pint most days, if I'm out & not driving maybe 4 or 5 pints, if I'm driving I'll stick to the zero versions , haven't been totally pissed for years, never touch spirits now.
