OK what did you good folk drink over Christmas?
I must confess that I brought home a good bit of my stock and didn't get around to opening a lot of it. Possibly because I live in a pub and everyone else stuck to beer most of the day.
I did manage to neck 3 bottles of Champagne, a bottle of vintage Port and the thick end of a bottle of Cognac, but barely made a dent in the magnum of Claret. Oh and now I come to think of it some PX Sherry too.
Can kidneys hurt?

The All New Jeni B
offlineMemberWe had (between 5 adults and one 12yr old-allowed-small-supervised-amounts-of-alcohol-for-special-occasions): 5 bottles of Champagne, 3 bottles of Chatuea Neuf-de-Pape, a bottle of Port, 2/3rds of a bottle of Baileys, and 4 bottles of Peroni.
One of the adults doesn't really drink, so had only 3 glasses of Champagne, the 12yr old had less than one glass of Champagne all told, and the other 4 adults were responsible for the remainder.

And some soft drinks, between 2 crumblies, three wrinklies, three strapping young men, two lovely young ladies, and me.

Christmas isn't over though.Happy New Year's Eve for tomorrow you lot.
Oh - and a good pint or two of Seafarers and Ringwood 49er.

offlineMemberWe were at the fucking miserable bastard in-laws, so I received a total of three glasses of warmish white wine spread from lunchtime to evening. We shared one bottle of bubbly that my wife had as a Xmas present, and we'd brought a Sancerre- but it was still in the fucking fridge when we left.

offlineMemberWrought-IronDuke - I feel for you. I'm sending you a bottle of Damson Gin - we had so many of the little buggers this year, we had to do something with them. And it beats the sloe gin any day.
And I've just spent £150 on three packs of home brew, so at Easter we shall celebrate in Chianti, Zinfandel Blush and Semillon Chardonnay - about 90 bottles in all.

offlineMemberI like to make my own alcohol over the festive period. Some orange juice, some bread as a filter, and some furniture polish...
Brings a warm glow to my mind...

offlineMemberWe had German friends over for lunch on Boxing Day, so, naturally, it was Shepherd Neame ‘Spitfire’ and Thwaites ‘Lancaster Bomber’. Other than that, Aussie red, G&T’s (Bombay Sapphire with ice and a slice of lime), some mellow port and some disgusting German liqueur, the name of which escapes me, but it should be called ‘’Dresden’s Revenge’.

Polish lager and jager bombs.
There is no comma between Polish and lager there.

offlineMember"we'd brought a Sancerre- but it was still in the fucking fridge when we left”...Duke, I feel for you. Every time we go to the outlaws I take a decent bottle of red. What we get served is Rioja that tastes like a matador’s washed his smalls in it*. So, I now make a point of feeding the pot plants with the Rioja** and filling my own glass with my own wine. Both of which actions are performed while glaring pointedly at father-in-law.
*Does all Rioja taste like that? I’ve never wanted to try others to find out.
**Some of them are still alive.Posted 1 year ago # -
