Alcohol

you didn't cycle ?
shame on you hippy
that would have been a fun journey
although i'm sure you would have done it drunker in the past

I don't even remember leaving so cycling wasn't a good idea. I was all poshed up too for champagne drinking obviously,... pfft

does anyone else hate alcohol in the morning.

"Duty on cider to rise by 10% above inflation from Sunday
Wine, beer and spirit duty up 2% a year until 2013
Tobacco duty up 1% this year and 2% a year in future years"

Hillbilly is not going to be happy.

Correct Mr w, I am not happy.

They will pay for what they have done, oh yes, they will pay!

Pop group The Wurzels, whose hits included I Am A Cider Drinker, have been outspoken in their opposition to the rise. They released a statement welcoming the decision.
"Here in the West Country cider is close to our hearts and if we, through our music and association with cider, helped bring this campaign to a ciderhead, then I think we all deserve a pint," they said.

I've just had 3 ciders and 2 cans of JD&coke and I can spell reasonably well. Fairy.

Just got a bottle of angostura rum from trinidad. Tasty shit.

Also, port is buff.

I'm arseholed on two for seven quid wine and a four pack of ale. Not proud.

Four/ \Stripe Early days, can't spell for shit sober let alone imbibed.

Booze for the lose.

cider = 1 of your 5 a day

i invented a new drink last night. i conceived of it while walking back from a gig pondering the contents of my cupboards and fridge, the squirmy state of my tummy and my requirement for something soothing and comforting.

it's one of these:

with a shot of this in it:

very excellent.

My invention:

Maria Sangrienta.

It's a Bloody Mary made with gazpacho soup instead of tomato juice. I've started drinking them a lot. They're surprisingly nice (if you like gazpacho) and taste "healthier" than the tomato ones.

thats not your invention it's a classic cocktail recipe

Oh. :(

Really? What's it (meant to be) called?

sorry to piss on your chips mate, just reminded me of the flaming moe scandal

OK, here's a new one that's also a healthy alternative to the standard.

It's a Bloody Mary without any salt, pepper, Tabasco or Worcestershire, and with orange juice instead of tomato juice. Lots of vitamin C. I'm going to call it a "socket wrench".

Ha!

Actually, I do have something vaguely interesting to add to this thread.

I live with a "professional mixologist" and he does make fucking amazing cocktails. He also makes "molecular cocktails", which basically involves adding lots of sodium alginate to the ingredients, so that you can have things like balls of jellified rum in a fizzy mint foam instead of a conventional mojito. Anyone else ever tried (making / drinking) stuff like this?

I dont like it when people mess around with my booze.

Pour it and fucking hand it over.

Rinse.

Repeat.
