    I bought rubbing alcohol from the paki shop and upped everything. It worked. But as I wrote. Not for everyday use. Unless necessary.

    Dude- I seriously hope you are joking. Methylated spirits is alcohol sure- but it is mixed with 10% methanol - and that stuff is damn toxic. Even a small intake can make you go blind, and a larger intake will kill you dead.

    Rubbing alcohol is even worse - it is normally Isoproply alcohol, and again very toxic.

    ^
    This brochure was created for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and provides information on methylated spirits. It contains information on:

    • methylated spirits
    • immediate effects of drinking methylated spirits
    • effects of methylated spirits on the body
    • what to do if someone is passed out
    • what happens when metho is used along with other drugs.

    I've always known that as Perry rather than cider.

    ^^ Yeah, we called it Perry in Somerset as well.

    I think Perry is just cider made from pears instead of apples?

    ^ Not really, cider is made from fermented apples and Perry fermented pears.

    Look it up and remember for the next pub quiz.

    ^ I remember, I only drank it two nights ago!

    It tasted like cider, but pear flavour instead of apple flavour.

    Bit sweet to be honest.

    Yes. That is why it was written in a jocular tone. Not advice or recommendation. Just a report of what happened to men undergoing extreme hardship (Shackleton and his men marooned) and me with my inquiring mind.
    Done it once with lemonade and that was it. I come from a country where a guy who drank aftershave after an international rugby match was hailed as hero. And still is.
    Please engage your sense of humour and irony. If not make a decision regarding people who have different Health and Safety view of the world than you.

    Moose Cider - I though it was a local brew as I can buy for 49 baht/bottle but saw them advertising on one of the Formula 1 cars at the Russian GP just now - confused

    Taste? Hell, I can't even remember the colour. Last time was my local after winning the Euchre tournament and was part of the minesweep before moving on to playing 'Jacks'. Always remember Perry and pickled egg being the winning drink...

    Today I picked up a box of wine for the weekend and thought I'd have a mid-week glass to test it out.

    My World... not too bad at all - no neck shake whatsoever - and cheap for Norway at 349 NOK (about 33 quid for 3 litres)



    Norway must be one of the most heavily regulated countries in Europe for getting a drink. I had to leave work early just to get a box of wine. I'm working in a largish town (about the size of Weston Super Mare I reckon) and there is only one shop in the entire place where you can buy wine or spirits. Supermarkets cannot stock anything stronger than beer or cider. So I had to go to the government run Vinmopolet (yes, the wine monopoly) to get some wine, and it shuts at 6pm weekdays (3pm on Saturdays). If you want a bottle of wine on a Sunday, then you're buggered.



    I guess this is why you never see a sober scandi in Thailand.

    I made a poor joke about monggoloids and instantly regretted it.

    ...and for those of you wondering, it was a play on words about the glass of beer above.
