Love a few drinks with good company, and have killed far too many brain cells over the years as a result, but I never drink on my own.
Looking forward to hearing Shitsu's story of the first Saturday back on the pop, getting wankered, having a fight and getting a shag. Or if Shitsu's a bloke, a more sophisticated evening presumably.

Pimms at a bubbly wedding reception, (but calculate the alcoholic volume because its the grown-ups equivalent of MadDog 20/20 kiwi flavour)
A cold french beer poured with a head in the sunshine. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, but I can still see ( and taste) the half of Kronenbourg 1664 at a cafe table in Normandy from last summer holiday.
Sancerre with a rather nice meal at home- pan fried duck with a pineapple, chilli and lime sauce on my wife's birthday
A rather well performed pint of Guinness from a pub, not the extra-cold variety, amidst jovial banter
A drop of Glenmorangie, and ice cube, a conversational friend / father and a fire
And though I sit here with man flu, having drank my way through three consecutive benders at a conference and feeling like shite, the thought of any of those puts a smile on my face- probably because each one was a lovely occasion and the booze was but the cherry on the top.
However, lest I give the impression of virtue, during the conference I drank Guinness, Becks, Stella, Boddingtons, Champagne, White wine, Red wine, Jagerbombs, Glenfiddich, Sagres lager...and ate from brazillian buffets and fine dining banquet to nando's and a stop at McD's for twenty nuggets, two cheeseburgers and fries on the way home from the banquet (Bresaola with raddish pannacotta followed by fillet beef with a venison tortellini is all very well, but it were mingey portions)...so sadly I probably describe the full pathway of selective enjoyment of moderate volumes of alcohol all the way to pouring whatever is handy down your neck and hoping your aim is good with the vomitting.

"A snack when I get up, then a full English breakfast, then another snack before I go to work, some cake and coffee mid-morning, a three course dinner at lunchtime, a snack about 4 p.m., a burger on the way home, a full three course meal at tea-time, a snack because I get peckish in the middle of the evening, then a couple of sandwiches before I go to bed, and then maybe something like a bacon butty in the middle of the night when I get hungry. And then start it all over again when I get up in the morning."
The doctor asked him to take his trousers down, shone his torch up his bum and said:"Yes... I think I know the trouble."
"What is it doc - anything serious?"
And the doctor replied:"Yes. You've only got one fucking arsehole."

offlineMemberThanks for the advice everyone.
Saturday - Gin and tonic, horrible beyond words swapped for vodka tonic and later half a Stella plus a sip from everyone else's glass.
Sunday - Glass and a bit of red wine with dinner. Was completely buggered by that. In bed by half eight, didn't wake up until lunch time today.
Conclusion - wine needs more investigating, the only thing that tastes worse than gin is Archers and lemonade, even a tiny amount of booze is a thousand times better than being tee-total. Cheers!
