    Sometimes had 4 pints, but most often it's 3. Funny thing, if I go to a restaurant instead of the pub, I'll probably end up having only 3 bottles = 2 pints.

    Would be fine if I was still working though.
    I just went out for a couple and read the paper, came back in and spotted the pile of dishes next to the dishwasher and though 'i'll do it later'.

    Two pints of London Pride followed by a swift pint of Heineken (Export). Suggested a cheeky half to old drinking mate pal, but he stupidly said "we've got to get back to work".

    Having to go back to work after 3 pints would kill me off. All that I'd be able to manage after that would be a silly grin.

    I love Friday. Especially around this time when my wanders and I start thinking about that first pint. Great. Roll on 5.

    If it was lager, you'd have been better off with vimto

    Three pints is all I can manage for an evening session without seriously regretting it in the morning these days. Having that many beers for lunch would be fatal.
