We used to have a thread which covered boozing, but thought it was about time we started a new one!

 

Should be having some of this tonight

Sitting drinking Kriek

 

A gift from the gods.

 

 

Only half pints though, so it disnae count as beer.

 

 

 

Working the morn,and Sunday  ,so early start on the wine with a Hardys Shiraz Mourverdre.Going down nicely

Dry night for me tonight. Was out last night celebrating koningsdag at the Dutch pub in China town last night. Felt like death all day!

 

Did you hear about the Scotsman,in a Dutch pub in Chinatown in England.......

I visited the Asbach Uralt distillery on the banks of the Rhine in the early 70's. I wasn't old enough to drink back then but my old man was. Never been teen by Brandy. Disna float ma boat.

Dry "tonight"? Pet subject of mine this.

 

This week I was AFD Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. AFD = Alcohol Free Day's.

 

I was a state on Wednesday though. I can spik shite for a living, which will be a surprise to some of you but by fuck I gave it laldy on the phone to my mates and trusted clients that night.

 

In 1980, I got a cold or flu or something and as I was lying in my bed like the whiter piner that I was, realised that December 9th was my first day without alcohol that year. For some reason December 18 was my second AFD of that year but with a grandfather dying an alcoholic, it alerted me to the dangers of habit.

 

In our first 12 months in Oz, my wife and I imbibed every single day. Ok, it was a bottle of wine between us most nights (to go with something else) but we wised up after then and deliberately engineered AFD's into our repertoire after that. Habit can be a killer. Discipline is a saviour.

 

Having some Bordeaux the noo after 4 pints in my local. Will be mashed by 10!

I've had plenty of Fridays and Saturdays AFD. Your body tells you. Temple and all that.

 

It's not important in the overall scheme of things. Apart from for the indisciplined losers who never reach their potential by reason of succumbing to taking too much of the grape and the barley.

Happy birthday crazz min!

Che , guys , thanks for all the birthday well wishes , how did you ever guess ?

Quiet night tonight . In to the prawn Sani brigade tomorrow in the RDS then celebrations will kick in 

 

COYR

 

 

There are times I miss a nice glass of wine, a good pint or a dram of malt (Glenfaclas or Lagavuillin depending on mood)

However, I know these days that one leads to two leads to too many which is why I had to stop (took some doing, lot of help from family friends, rehab and AA) At least I haven't done any lasting damage health-wise 

 

I'm nae here to be holier-than-thou, enjoy yer drinks lads and lassies 

 

All the best MT keep up the brilliant changes
