Thread: What are you drinking today?

My eldest went to an Irish bar a few months back and instead of a lucky shamrock on his pint they expertly made a portrait of our dear departed doggie





A fitting toast and tribute.

London prices can't be blamed either, since Covid everything has rocketed, many pubs up here try and charge ridiculous prices. No wonder Spoons are the only packed boozers nowadays.

Start with an ale and as afternoon segues into evening switch over to an Irish.

6 pounds 50 to 7 quid in some places for a pint of Guinness.

Brighton was the most expensive place I've been recently where pints of lager were over 7 quid.

Not long before a ten pound pint hits the pubs and bars of England now.

^Scary thought. Yeah ive heard Brighton is now pang mak for anything

Bottles of wine go way too quickly

Nice Italian red from Spark's, only 12 quid

Your Thai language skills are so impressive.

It really is a total cringe when people do that.

Especially when they fuck it up like that.

'pang mak'

Drinking wine from normal glasses really seems to be a thing on here.

Personally, I find that fancy wine glasses are way too delicate and liable to breakage, either during washing up or due to 'dog on table' events.

Much better a robust, low centre of gravity, normal glass.

Maradona > Peter Crouch.

Got it.

Or of course, because a normal glass is all that's available.

I have been drinking this... woke up wide awake at 2am... what do do?

A nice drop in a normal glass while watching the cricket.



I'm not sure how this day will progress, but current thinking is a Full Scottish at 7am, followed by my last couple of tins of Peroni while continuing to watch the cricket, followed by a snooze.

I could get used to this.

A drop of Heineken

^ Nice glass. I'm sure that will be heading back to Samut Prakan.

^ One of my old favs. That and Erdinger Weizen, of which I sunk a number of pints on NYE. Nice, but once a year is enough.

It makes you drink less each time.

'This approach allows you a way of maintaining your dignity while still enjoying yourself. The Italians call this the “art of drinking well without drinking too much.” In the Italian tradition, wine in tumblers is not just a way of enjoying wine, but also a way of enjoying other people'

I have to agree with BC on the wine in tumblers thing. It is a part of sprezzatura. I still like drinking my wine in a stemmed class while in a restaurant, but while out outside, or elsewhere I am cool with a tumbler.

^ Fuck off Snubby, drinking it outta the bottle in the brown bag is not part of spezzatura

The best days of the week on here are this time on a Sunday.

Those in Thailand already on the piss, Snubby asleep in his and the rest of us in Europe just starting.


Shitfests everywhere, it's time to mock the fannies again and Dil is in the house.
