What's in your glass?

[Clair De Lune]

Cider, it doesn't make me arsey honest

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Same glass?

Some people do, though I prefer separate glasses - a bit of Guinness, a sip of the whiskey, some more Guinness etc. This also seems to be the method preferred by the old Irish alcoholics I've seen so it must be authentic or something.

[Voley]

Well I had a cup of tea thinking I might go to bed but the rest of the bottle starting calling to me...

[Voley]

Kumala Cape Classics Red. Cheap but OK.

 

[nicksonic]

marston's pedigree ale

 

[ramjamclub]

Cragganmore 12 year old malt

 

[Maurice Picarda]

A lemon squash which rather misguidedly has assumed aggressively Australian branding in an attempt to position itself in the premium cordial bracket. With fizzy water.

Will Self, of all people, was shilling an acai-based drink as the answer to all teetotallers' prayers. He took up half a page of the Times to rave about its complexity, by comparison with which the finest claret was jejune. I haven't seen any in Tescos yet but getting Self to recommend it to reformed alkies was quite cunning.

 

[stethoscope]

Cheap and cheerful bottle of red Chilean Isla Negra.

 

[Orang Utan]

betty's tea room blend

 

[aqua]

fizzy pop, of the non-alcoholic variety - I feel a bit delicate still from last night - mixing drinks is stoopid

 

[Stanley Edwards]

2004 special reserve from the special river region

 

[Voley]

Orso Enoteca Puglia Primitivo. A t least I think that's what it's called, the label's all over the shop. It's Italian and red, any road. 2008. Very fruity. Must be one that I bought as part of a mixed case as I never would've chosen it off the shelf. Nice, mind.

 

[dilute micro]

Sangiovese

 

[Numbers]

Red Stripe.

It's only fucking the 2nd day back in work and I already feel like it's been a long week, always takes me longer to get back into things after having longer weekends.

So tonight I'm going to have 3 beers

 

[StanSmith]

Ive had one big bottle of Smirnoff Ice and quite a few Stellas. Might have a Lambs and Coke in a bit.

 

[dilute micro]

Nero d'Avola

 

[ramjamclub]

Duvel 8.5% Belgian beer

 

[Hoss]

Corona Extra, from the bottle.

[Hoss]

Lemsip

put honey and rum in it. It'll taste much better

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

 

[ramjamclub]

on this now

 

[MightyAphrodite]

"a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls."


just some absinthe reall.y

 

[Hollis]

Tea.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Hot chocolate with some cinnamon. There's nothing wrong with adding a small amount of cinnamon (or ginger) to a cup of hot chocolate. Where the purist might start getting a bit Roger Moore with his eyebrows would be over the addition of Kellog's Raisin Wheats, a whole packet of which I have been adding one by one to the drink and spooning out after a thirty second dunk.

I rather regret not having thought of this in my smoking days.
