as dawning realisation that 'Cider over Ice' is in fact a bit gay.
The effect, epicentered on Newcastle, spread rapidly at over 1000 pubs per hour, with Bulmers and Magners sales plummeting.
The only areas not effected were Brighton, the Isle of Wight and Wales, where sales actually saw a marked increase.

I wonder if there ought to be a scientifically established scale of gayness for alcoholic drinks? Of course, this would have to include some degree of flexibility to reflect changing social mores; when I were young, lager drinkers were thought to be a bit theatrical, but now even straight men drink the stuff. Allegedly. Stars.

Very good! Can't believe people fell for the 'oirish' marketing lies about ice in cider. It's not even proper cider: it barely causes blindness and there's no rats' heads in it.
I brew my own cider, with ginger and chillies in it. Not served with ice, but best to pop a toilet roll in the fridge for the next morning.

Ah, the traditional Christmas drink of a "Snowball", the only time that Advocaat is every used.

Sounds repulsive. Is Advocaat the stuff that tastes like caraway seeds? Blecch!
My family's only Christmas drink tradition is to start very early in the day. I must commend us on the fact that no one ever dredges up old holiday bitterness and "you made me cry when I was eight years old" boo-hoos when drunk. Even though we are all men, we are so "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" to each other 365 days a year, there is no need to say crappy things on the holiday.
Whoops! We aren't all men. I forgot my sisters-in-law. But, no one ever talks to them anyway.
