Thread: What are you drinking today?

Its a hot one today 36c. Winter is over. I am enjoying a very healthy Hops and Barley beverage.

Maybe the mulberries vary with different trees? We have two trees and I find the mulberries to have a real nothing taste and don't bother picking them any more.

Even the birds and squirrels leave them alone.

As my wife's friend noted, you have to fertilize them well or the fruit is small and bland. I found the smaller leaf trees produce the better tasting berry. The big leaf make a nice tree but the fruit is very tart.

Ya know, why do many people feel you need to drink at night? Absolutely nothing wrong with a beverage mid day or even the morning. All depends on what is going on. However LEO is awful 24/7 so best to drink at night and go to sleep to forget about it.

I think that’s called passing out.

Last night we had 7 friends show up impromptu as they all called each other. Typical Thai beverage gathering. Chang, Singha, Regency and some Lhao Khao. They all seem to hate Leo. I think it's splitting hairs. Chang and Leo are the same. Singha is awful.

The clue is in the name 'sundowner'.

Absolutely.

The best time for a booze is in the afternoon. Time to recover, a bit on the telly if you're at home and relative peace and quiet if you're out.

Winner winner Leo not for dinner.

WTF has happened to you? One guess is your all day consumption of that shit beer Leo has caused brain damage.

Tequila Sunrise, how many are drunk at dawn?

Not everyone pours drinks down their throats in five minutes. Some people drink to, you know, enjoy it rather than to get obliterated.

I do, I did and I've fallen off the wagon.

Hard not to have a battlecruise at the weekend in Europe when you are surrounded by spectacular beers. And this is another cracker:



The wagon will recommence its journey on Monday.

That’s a fair call!

I blame you, William.

Your constant pictures of alcohol and food tipped me over the edge.

Well, that and 60 hour working weeks preparing stuff for teachers of late.

That as well.

It's deserved.

Oi! Well, here’s another for you.
