Put 9 empty wine bottles in the recycling this morning & that was just between 2 of us. Not to mention the 3 pints of Addlestone's Cloudy at lunchtime

Still, I did cycle 40 miles yesterday so at least some of the calories will be burnt off

Yikes... mind you, we did 3 bottles of pink on Saturday afternoon, when I say we I really mean me, he was on beer although, he might have had one glass of wine...

Stinking hangover, first thing yesterday.

If it was Rosé, at say 7% ABV, that would be equivalent to not much more than 2 bottles of 13% ABV wine, which one could easily polish off over several hours (especially if that included a few hours in the afternoon as well as the evening).

Mind you, I wouldn't want to accuse the OP of drinking Rosé

Pink is good

I wouldn't be so dismissive of rosé, I find it is a perfect lunchtime/afternoon wine on a hot day.

Some of them get up to 13.5% ABV now.

Don't believe you

Wow. Some of you guys are extremely heavy drinkers.

And let's not forget............as someone once told me...........you are NOT drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on!

[OwlHoot]

Yeah, of course. I woke up the other day with a cracking hangover and picked up my dressing gown and found a bra in the pocket. I thought, WTF? I went to the bathroom and found a pair of girls pants on the floor and thought "Good grief, that must have been one hell of a party last night". I looked in the mirror and notice a little string hanging out of my mouth and my only thought is, "If there's a god, please let this be a teabag!!"

Please make your way straight to TPD where the rest of the lightweights are awaiting your arrival!

Oh really? Not everyone in TPD are lightweights you know.

Are you not worried you'll do yourself some serious danger?

Are you not worried you'll do yourself some serious danger?

Yes, and because I'm type II diabetic I get regular checks. If I've been boozing heavily for a few days it shows up on liver tests but two weeks abstinence gets the numbers back to normal.

My biggest worry is the calorie intake from beer and wine as I need to lose weight and this will be a constant battle I suppose as I like good food too much as well.

[DieScum]

Wow. Some of you guys are extremely heavy drinkers.

I've got a bit of a reputation for being a big drinker on nights out amongst my mates but a heavy, heavy session for me is 8-9 pints. That gives me blackouts and a 2 day hangover... so I try and go easy on those.

Some of my friends have real issues now with the cocaine, not for me anymore.

Yes, sadly knew a few people that found that too much of a crutch.

Smoked a bit of cannabis in the younger, halcyon days but it was all rubbishy resin. Then got hold of some super skunk - frack me, that stuff could make an entire conversation stop for an hour in Amsterdam in the rain. That stuff made my brain numb.

Hey, forget the alcohol abuse I mentioned earlier, it was probably that bloody super skunk that did it.

As they said at the cafe when we asked for something strong, but not too strong: "Hey, in Amshterdarm, ev'ry thing ish strowng". They weren't fracking joking either... christ, I can even remember ordering a kebab and the owner pulls out a plastic tub of the evenings cold, "elephant leg" droppings and shoving it in between wet kebab bread...uuurgh...

Ther were 5 cans of kronenburg in the fridge which I polished of doing the gardening in the early afternoon, went out for 3 pints and picked up a crate of DAB to watch the football with. There are about 5 left. That is more than usual, good weather and CL final were always going to mean plenty beer.

Used to do a silly amount of drugs, massive binges, wince when I look back at the levels of abuse. Some of my friends have real issues now with the cocaine, not for me anymore.

As I was waiting in the supermarket checkout queue tonight, I was eyeing up the drinks aisle, weighing up whether to swap my place in the queue for a bottle or two of Stella. Nah, alcohol is too expensive. I've been off it for years, but never did enjoy it to excess. A nice cold bottle of beer is nice though. Queue place won. Still fancy a cold beer though.

No hangovers either.

4 bottles in a day is not unknown.

When I was touring with bands I got through some serious amounts of booze. Pints in double figures followed with whisky by the bottle. Never did drugs though and was never tempted. I did get hangovers in those days that seemed terminal but survived.
