jayjayoghani Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I pour in a wine glass and leave. Does that make me a wine snob? Quote
MickyD Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I put some in a glass and quaff. Does that make me a piss head? Quote
Spider Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Most decent wines and all riojas benefit from breathing in a decanter. Varietal five quid types just need throwing down your neck. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I've invented the gayest drink ever - Cider and Vimto... The proportions have to be just right though, you need about 'that' much Vimto in a glass and top up with cider... Do it right (on the sly) and no-one knows you're drinking booze until you're on your sixth pint and you start talking (or writing) bollocks and/or being loud and borderline abusive. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Oh aye, for the perfect crime, buy a few bottles of fizzy Vimto... Otherwise folk will wonder why your flat Vimto has a head/bubbles. (pour the fizzy Vimto down the sink so as not to arouse suspicion ) Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I know it's a wine thread btw, I'm not allowed any though*. * I'm only allowed soft drinks like Vimto Quote

stevieb Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Youri, how what's the 'worst' thing you've ever done whilst pissed / in the pursuit of alcohol? You seem to be in the 'can't find the off switch' camp but you are in a different stratosphere to most others. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Too many to mention, and I'm not looking for kudos for that, quite the opposite... I was half-joking about the Vimto Cider tonight, but I am in the doghouse to say the least, in fact I could even be taken down the Animal Shelter at some point - the jury is still out...Went AWOL from New Years Day evening and reappeared three days later. Not big, nor clever - thought such behaviour was firmly in the past. No further comment necessary - sorry if you were expecting a post detailing pissed up light-hearted japery, StevieB I did enjoy myself during my bender, but others probably (definitely) didn't. THIS IS NOT A MELTDOWN BTW (and to clarify I've no kids either). Quote
stevieb Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I know from previous posts you seem to be a bit borderline alco but know it and done stuff about it. I still love your 'turning up everywhere with a bag of cans' post. I gather a lot what you say is half in jest but you can imagine a lot of folk live like that! Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I still remember you writing ''there's nowt borderline about losing all your mates and rocking about everywhere with a bag of cans!'' and it rang true These days I know when to say no, but when I say yes, it's often yes for a few days - but it's a rare occurence now. My last big session before New Year was in February so the gaps between sessions are getting longer, ten months without getting completely wankered and/or muntered is probably my lifetime record (as an adult). I think I'll be buying my liver a pipe and some of those boot slippers with the zip up the front shortly. Edited January 24, 2015 by Youri McAnespie Quote
jules_darby Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I have an aerator and it may be placebo but I like it And I don't like my red wine too cool Might not make a difference to some, but it seems to in my head So i'll stick with it If that makes me a snob, or naive, I don't mind Works for me Edited January 24, 2015 by jules_darby Quote
Whites man Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Youri, when alky types go on these benders for a few days, where do you sleep at night? Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Bushes... Really? This time on a mate's couch for one of the nights, then another couple of nights at another sparsely furnished and work in progress small house I've got - one night because it was simply closer to where I'd been supping, then another because I knew I was in the shit and daren't resurface still pissed (which I was) so spent the night 'coming down' slowly with ale, safe in the knowledge I'd be sober and relatively less hungover come the next morning... And it's bingedrinking borderline alky thankyou very much. I can't speak for other benderers (in the drinking sense ) but I know of pubs and clubs (dives mainly) where they'll leave patrons to sleep it off overnight after they've stopped serving/drinking - then there's mate's or drinking buddies' abodes I suppose? Other family members places who are more amenable to supping (daft brothers and the like), Mistresses' or bits on the side or particularly unpicky women they've managed to win the affections of for the night, hotels, the police cells or even, in the summer months, bushes, park benches and golf courses. HTH? Edited January 24, 2015 by Youri McAnespie Quote
Whites man Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Ta. I always remember when Jim Carver went off the rails in The Bill & he woke up in the flat of some fellow piss cans he had met the day before. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I've never woke up in a total (or near) stranger's - thank f*ck. And I don't see the point, if kegged up, in accompanying a lady home if one is unable to perform due to the ale - unless you don't suffer from the brewer's droop and/or you're happy to rise to the task in the morning, possibly when the beer goggles have been removed to reveal someone less attractive than the night previous - both parties btw, not being a chauvinist Edited January 24, 2015 by Youri McAnespie Quote
Whites man Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Youri you should set up something like Airbnb for alkys. Quote
jules_darby Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Piss Edvisor? I think that's the funniest post you've ever made And not an edit in sight Quote
Exiled Girl Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I have an aerator and it may be placebo but I like it And I don't like my red wine too cool Might not make a difference to some, but it seems to in my head So i'll stick with it If that makes me a snob, or naive, I don't mind Works for me Done several wine tastings* where we've had a bottle opened, decanted & a drink from it at the start of the evening then finished it at the end where the decanting had improved it enormously. Depends on the wine, and the older the wine the more it benefits from (and can be saved by) decanting. *With Phil, the wine buyer from Gaucho, who puts plenty air in the wine as he pours it Edited January 25, 2015 by Exiled Girl Quote
