    None of this is helped by the government designating off licences as ‘essential retailers’ when the World Health Organization has warned that alcohol should not be used as a coping mechanism during the covid-19 pandemic.

    There is the old argument that going cold turkey on alcohol is actually very dangerous for a proper alcoholic but then they're not the ones wanting BBR to take a box of Petrus '45 out of storage and drop it off by the servant's entrance.

    New sales data suggests we are consuming more alcohol during this crisis, with sales surging by over 50% - this at a time when our immunity needs to be at its peak isn’t helped by using a drug that lowers immunity.

    None of this is helped by the government designating off licences as ‘essential retailers’ when the World Health Organization has warned that alcohol should not be used as a coping mechanism during the covid-19 pandemic.

    The government’s stance on alcohol is unsurprising as they continue to be susceptible to industry lobbying ensuring that the population consumes unhealthy quantities of alcohol.

    hmm things have moved on if she is inviting you back to hers! go Xoggy!

    If you spent> £30 (on offer) you probably need to consider if it is better than cooking sherry.

    > £50 send me an invite!

    Put it in a fruit cake. Not a whole bottle of course.

    Wouldn't work with a peaty one, it does depend on what you've got.

    However this time I left the good stuff out having drunk too much of it.
