    I generally drink 2 bottles of 13% wine at the weekend, leaving me a thimble of weak beer per working day, which I enjoy very much, particularly with a whole peanut.

      I'm giving up cheese for lent mainly because I can't stand the stuff.

      Oh and I'm up at the big end of the scale cos I'm great at drinking...and it makes me look sexy...as did smoking until I gave it up.
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        I drink about a three quarters of a bottle of wine per week, and perhaps 5 glasses of fortified wine or spirits. Usually much less, but my consumption has gone up since Christmas for some reason.

        Not sure what that amounts to. Probably just around the safe limit for a woman.

          Good news! This article indicates that the whole "safe limits" thing is totally arbitrary.

          What's funny, is that when he was deliberately drinking above the "safe" limits, it was still less than his mates.

          I like the "are you an alcoholic" test at the bottom. Have you ever felt remorse after drinking? Yes, but only because you told me that I'd breached the "safe" limit.

                    Looking at the results it is clear that the UK does not have a pension crisis.

                      tulip,

                      A nice bottle of wine between 2 is always a must with any decent food. But then you have the bottle of beer to drink while deciding what to cook, and then the bottle of beer while actually cooking. Then after the delicious meal it's nice to sit and watch TV with the g'friend and it'd be rude not to have a glass or beer while doing that...

                      so which option do i choose.. hmmm let me see
