Reply to: How recently did you last have an alcoholic drink?

You can get sparkling reds. Surprisingly, they're quite nice.

I'd rather have still wine anyway though, fizzy drinks make me feel bloaty

I always wanted to try creating sparkling spirits but never could justify buying a soda stream just to muck about.

Since I drink red, keeping wine fresh by fizzing it seems a poor alternative

Why not get a soda stream instead? You can make yor own cheaper sparkling shiraz' or invent new stuff like sparkling chablis, or for the serious drinkers, sparkling single malt.

plus the CO2 will keep wine fresh. Just remember normal wine bottles crack under pressure. Actully has any one tested that theory with a modifed soda stream?

Just now. A rather nice 12 year old cask strength Edradour.

Crikey. I'm one of those 'in the last month' losers. I've never really been a huge fan of the taste of alcohol. When I've had a tulip day I usually have a glass of milk.

Which is amazing since you'd give Marc Almond a run for his money.

I hope it wasn't proper whisky, what a waste!



I find that as the only wine-drinker in the house, opening a bottle is a problem as it then has to be drunk. Until, I got hold of one of these handy things: Amazon.co.uk: Products tagged with wine saver
Now I can keep a bottle for a week or longer with no pressure to drink it to avoid waste.

And the kids get cheaper pop. They even do tonic now if you fancy a pain killer every night after work.

Would you prefer she moved in with him?

That was one of the considerations in having her back, I didn't want to "force" her into that option before she was ready.

[d000hg]

I wasn't going to drink until tomorrow but I ended up having three pints last night down the pub. My wife and daughter conspired to get me down there so I could meet the daughter's new boyfriend then my daughter could ply me with drink until she broached the subject of moving back in with us for three months whilst she "sorts herself out".

Whoopee.

Would you prefer she moved in with him?

[Scrag Meister]

Can I change my answer, I had a couple of bottles last night.

[Lockhouse]

Is it not possible to move house or summat?

We moved but she tailed my car back from the pub one night.

:At least she is not pregnant.

...not that I know of at any rate! If that's the case she can get a council house!

[BrilloPad]

Third time she's come back and she's 25 next week.



My wife told me I'd been bitchslapped enough and I could go home.

I hope its just your daughter moving back in and not her new lurver

I managed to make that one of the stipulations!
