Now the pubs have shut and we’re all stuck at home, what’s this evenings tipple?
I’m on the good old Casillero del Diablo vino red, a fine wine (I lie it was just on offer in Tesco but does the job)

Nothinhg I like the company in the pub. Drinking at home can be the slippery slope. I never have more then a glass of sherry at home.
Just finished a beautiful cup of mint tea.Quote:

The other half found me some Chai Latte in the supermarket today and a cup of that went down very nicely after my meal.
None of the hard stuff for me today
Out of curiosity, and this is not a go at you or your comment, but more something that baffles me a bit - what is it about having this need some people have to physically get together with others for a drink at this current moment in time? I think we all know the message about trying to avoid different households mixing. Current advice is still to do only what is essential.Quote:

It's not meeting in person but it's better than not meeting at all.
Cheap booze. It's the new short cut.
Christ this has got of hand again. Didn’t want it to be politics, COVID themed, or argument thread, just what’s our simple tipple for the evening that’s all.

It is the people I really feel for and although many will flout the rules, the majority will abide by them.
BTW re OP, I was on the deal of the day in Tescos, bottles of San Miguel.
I know a lady who is a clinical hypnotist. She hypnotised me 14 yrs ago. I went from 60 B&H a day to zero in 30 minutes and never had the urge since At the time ( Feb 2006) it cost me £120 and it was worth every penny.Quote:
