How much alcohol do you consume per week ?

[ABF]

Used to be 25+ per week (sometimes it was per day!) but I've cut back considerably since April, for no other reason than I just can't be arsed anymore. Imbibe a few beers on the weekends (2/3 Fri, 3/4 Sat, 2/3 Sun), but maybe one beer per evening on a school night. Even if I'm on an overnighter with work, whereas I used to cane it I simply cannot be bothered.

Is now a good time to mention the three bottles of Amaro that I've just brought back from holibobs...?

Isn't that posh Campari?

Don't associate Gremmers with posh.
He's been here. He's more Yorkshire than I am

It's the elixir of the fucking gods is what it is, my uncouth, Essex-dwelling friend.

Campari is a bitter, and an essential ingredient to a Negroni. (1 part each of gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. Slice of orange and ice)

Amaro is a digestivo that is agro-dolce, bitter-sweet. Over ice, after dinner, for gentlemen only.

There are some who maintain a Negroni can be made with Amaro. Those people are not welcome in my house.

I heard copper wire was invented when Yozza and Gremmers had an argument over a penny.

Oi. Posh enough to know that a gentleman never goes to the toilet in the shower.

Sweetcorn plays havoc with the U-bend...

Well I reckon my total units for the 4 day weekend is approximately 34 . Seems to be about 10 units per evening at home 3 days, on Sunday 4 units. Next week we're down Cornwall for 7 nights so this will increase of course.

Reckon alcohol is my weak point, never smoked, relatively fit, so maybe I need to chop a day off, think I'll bin Sunday drinks.

Seriously though, this 14 unit thing, what is it actually based on, any hard evidence it's bad for us to go over. I was once told to have 3 dry days and that's what I do.

I'm now worried I may not be drinking enough.

Nice taste, not too strong 4.5

4.5? It's made my eyes go blurry just looking at the bottle!

On a school night too!

Yum yum.

I see you've just had your watch battery cover removal tool delivered.

Already got that. That's a box containing 2 flea collars!.

This pic has made me really want to go to the supermarket on the way home later and get some nice blue cheese and drink some port (not the good one, the cheap one!) tonight - not working tomorrow, so can drink to my hearts content

And right now, if I didn't have to drive in a bit and again later, I'd be hitting any bottle I could find here - probably a good thing I'm driving or the rest of the day would be gone !!! I know you men say you are simple beings, but FFS, some of you most definitely are NOT

It was your Port thread that made me buy the cheese! I kept thinking about how long ago it must have been since i've had a bit of stilton and reckoned it must be 3-4 Christmases ago, so i went out and bought a bit. Lovely it was too!

LOL influencing each other !!!

Can't get stilton here but there is some very very lovely blue that I've found before - and I have some biscuits suitable !!

If you like that, I'd recommend Ease Up, also by Adnams. Bit harder to find (I say that, but our local Waitrose, and Tesco, and Adnams shop have it), but it's like a better version of Ghost Ship.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it's the beer I've been drinking every weekend for about 6 or 7 years now. If they ever stop making it, I'm fucked.

That girl's gonna leave you if you don't ease up on the beer and the weed.

Probably take the TV too.
