I do like them a bit on the chilly side, 8 degrees C in the cellar-fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Had my customary New Years Eve Eve night out with my mates last night.. feel as rough as a bear's scrotum today. Few beers but then went round the drinks shelf ordering various whiskies. Getting quite a taste for them now... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 all lovely brought my brother back a litre bottle of Ballentines when I went through duty free, it's 'only' a blend but very drinkable anyway, a couple of weeks ago he sent me a text saying let's just get kids presents this year..... so I'm on the Ballantine's later! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on loads of the little tours around distilleries and they say ice is a big no no. They're all wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted December 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've avoided going out tonight. Therefore tonight's tipple is going to be I've got a curry on order. The phone is turned off as I know friends are up town paying through their nose and will no doubt phone me later (they tried to get me out), but bugger that. Instead I'm going to get royally wankered on the good stuff and avoiding the worst night the year. (oops, I said it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I almost broke down on Sunday an had a real beer. Closest I've come since I quit. It's tricky how the mind can justify this that or the other. It's hard though, being in this small town and not knowing many people. All the action happens at the pub, and I don't go there. I know I can go and order a juice or w/e but it's almost torture to go into a cozy pub on a cold winter night, stare at all the amazing beers on offer and then order a **** orange juice. /rant over Edited January 14, 2015 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well, I lasted 4 and a half years off the drink. I spent last week in Bermuda and said "**** it". First drink was a Stella. Very disappointing. It really is kind of a terrible beer. Followed that with a Sam Adams lager. More body and flavor, but still I hadn't found what I was looking for yet. With dinner I had a couple of American IPA's, (I forget the brewery) and that did the trick. Nice and piney, strong too. Some locals bought me a shot of Jagermiester...went down better than I thought it would. Ended the night with a Guinness. Good stuff. The rest of the week: Cabernet Port Jameson Bushmill's Margaritas More Guinness and IPA I must say I'm still a pro, only stumbled once, on the last night with the margaritas. Thought I'd feel more guilty, but I don't, really. I've quit twice now, first time for 18 months, latest for almost 5 years. So I can stop whenever I want, if I want. I am in control, dammit. So, until I quit again, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Popping in for one on the way home, a real ale pub so the fizzy cider I like probably won't be sold. Then home for wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
