Gingerpele 0 Posted June 17, 2013 Too much!Well recently anyway. For the 4/5 weeks in Canterbury this term after deadlines gone out way too much and drank way too much. Actually been acting like a student. When I drink, I drink too much. I mix as well, I try to be manly and start with pints of larger, unless Desperados is on offer (love Spoons, 2 for £5 get in!!). Sweedish Cider also. But then I need vodka or whisky. Been drinking a lot of Southern Comfort and lemonade recently (doubles always), and if drinking at someones house before going out or something normally wine as its easy and a cheapish bottle (or two) gets the job done!

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted June 18, 2013 I can go months without touching a drop although I do enjoy a drink when I''m in the mood. If I was told I couldn''t have another drop for the rest of my life, it wouldn''t bother me. After that contradictory opening my favourites are - Guinness, Real Ale, Remy Martin Champagne Congac, Malt Whisky - especially Talisker. I do drink lager and cider when I''m in the mood, I like it on a hot day, but it must be ice cold. I can''t stand Carling, it tastes vile. My drink of choice used to be red wine, however I found that it started upsetting my stomach, well at least some red wines do (must be an ingredient in them)? Vodka is ok, and G&T is a fabulously refreshing drink on a hot day. If you like red wine I found a gorgeous one in Asda. It''s Asda''s Extra Special New Zealand Pinot Noir. It''s fabulously fruity and didn''t affect my stomach at all. It''s lovely and smooth with no nasty after taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
