    Several Morettis in the pub. Maybe a few more.
    Then sipping lager whilst cooking.
    A red wine during dinner.
    Then back to the sipping lager until I withdraw for the night.

    I’ve been lucky this year I come down with the norovirus a few days back.
    Christmas and I haven’t had a drink or anything to eat since Friday night.
    On the plus side we’ve got plenty of food, drink and stuff to consume when things slow down and I feel confident that they will stay down.
    Shiteist Christmas in my life.

    Chin up @charltonkeston

    Bucks Fizz, American lager that beer snobs would turn their nose up at, sparkling rose, gin, now back on the lager. Think the night will end with an Amaretto.

    Rarely drink at home so this all feels different

    I'm now back home demolishing a lovely bottle of pinot Noir and a great f******* wedge of stilton.

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    Some of you will have a sore head tomorrow!

    I’ve had prosecco with orange juice pre and post Christmas lunch (we only have the one massive meal in my house) and since then I’ve been on the Borolo. Sainsburys finest but it’s bloody nice for all that.

    I’ve been trying not to get too smashed this year, I lost my Nan on Thursday (my mums mum) so I’ve been keeping myself in control. But she bloody loved Christmas and a good drink, the Irish blood ran stong, so this next one is for her and for all the lifers missing someone this Christmas.

    Sir Chrissy Powell bless you all!
