:lol:
How long is not long? I'm currently on the wagon again, don't reckon it will last long either! That said, I am making a concerted effort to cut down so I will still limit myself to weekends. Even so, I could never manage 3 bottles of red without :spew: :spew: :spew: - that's insane, dude!
Should of gone for the 2004 André. More of 'rugby player jock-strap' with only a hint of 'athlete's foot'.Quote:

2006 Gran Monasterio de Santa Cruz. 60% Monastrell and 40% Granachia. The latter being unusual for a Tarragona, usually known for the use of Tempranello grapes.
Just small sips (till the wife goes to bed) :lolsign:Quote:

I promised the wife to halve my drinking, so I did. ;)
Now, instead of having a gin and tonic, I just have the gin!
As a certain meerkat once said "Simples!"
As for real ale, there are a fair few brewing wonderful blonde bitter in the East Midlands, two examples : Nottingham Brewery and Rock Bitter and EPA (their version of an IPA), and
Castle Rock and Harvest Pale. :cool:
I normally go for a good glugger at no less than 13%. Anything less seems a waste of money!
Australian wine normally provides the necessary kick but most new world wines will do. and at around £4.50 or less from my local Indian shop it always hits the spot.
I like a Shiraz or a Merlot with a curry and maybe a cheeky cab/sav with beans on toast. Either way its usually a 2-3 bottle night when I'm not working. much cheaper than the local boozer which can easily be a £35 event.
Wow... You can drink 2-3 bottles of WINE a night??? :eek:Quote:

That's serious alchy shit, dude!!

I drink the equivalent of around a bottle of whiskey every evening Marco :eyebrows: As long as you restrict it to the evening it doesn't appear to do too much harm, i don't even get hangovers ;) Been at it for 14 years now with only a few breaks of a day or so, i think the record was 5 days & only due to medication that should have had a seriously adverse reaction with alcohol. Turns out that was a load of cobblers to :doh:
I can't say i'm proud of it, i'm just used to it.
Mmm... It's your body and your life, mate, but whatever way you cut it, that ain't good for you.
I'm afraid that all this is an alien world to me, as I only drink is 2-3 glasses of wine occasionally with some meals, and the odd beer, now and again! :eek:
Each to his or her own, but I'm definintely more of a 'quality over quantity' person, when it comes to alcohol. I guess it's the way I've been brought up, and also how people live in Italy :)
