I can't do it and don't understand why people do, give me a cuppa tea any day before a tinnie. i can't imagine drinking in the house on my jack watching tv, social swiller and that's it.

Fair play. Each to their own.

I had an hour in the bay horse after the match yesterday.

 

There's fuck all chance I'm coming home and putting the kettle on.

I never used to and always said I wouldn't.

I'm bang at it these days though.

Never say never I suppose.

I love supping at home.

 

Cheap, no chance of a dodgy pint and I love my own company.

 

And I like getting pissed

I saw a great quote the other day: Loners are just people who've accepted disappointment. Not a clue who it's credited to but it made me smile wryly.

Never have more than the odd one in house.

How do you know how pissed you are? I think I'd slit my wrist before having to put up with my own company drinking in the gaff

We started when the daughter came along and continued for the next 22 years. Friends came round and the cans and wine were opened. Became a habit and now its just just wine. Thurs, fri and sat are spent downing bottles either here or around at someone elses gaff. We occasionally start an evening having a couple of pints of real ale somewhere but always fall back on the wine.

Home drinking can be good.

 

And at about 80 quid for a barrel of Stella ????????

Always fancied making my own ale and wine.

 

Know a few that do it and make some cracking stuff. I just sold one a beer pump and fridge/motor unit from our pegs gaff.

 

Stuff he makes is superb.

I used to make ale for everyone (mates) when I was about fourteen, I'd save empty pop bottles up and then we'd chip in for a kit or two from Boots basement on the square...I'd sneak downstairs in the middle of a schoolnight and do the wort on the stove add the sugar and water into about four saucepans, into some superfluous clean paste buckets of my old man's with more water and yeast and then upstairs into the unused airing cupboard in my room and hidden with clothes and junk...Used to have some good pissups and I became quite accomplished at brewing once I learned patience. Used to enjoy a relaxing pint watching Neighbours when I got home from school, and we'd have yard of ale competitions with an old Galliano bottle in my bedroom.

 

My mam once found a huge batch of bottles conditioning (and still cloudy) down the side of my cabin bed - she thought me and mates had been pissing in bottles and saving them, which doesn't say much about how she must've regarded me.

I'm a fan of drinking anytime, any place, anywhere...

 

Including pints of Martini 'top'.

We tend to drink more in the house now than down the pub. A few G&T's and a nice bottle red always seems to hit the spot.

 

There are some nice bars in Macclesfield but it can get expensive when you add in food and a taxi home hence the drinking at home.

Go for it. Don't use them myself but some good kits about.

Home brewed cider is a piece of piss and a very nice drop too...

 

A few demijohns, some airlocks, sterilising powder and siphon tube - comes in at under £20 in Wilkinsons, get some cartons of apple juice, a teabag, sugar and champagne yeast and you're away.

 

If you're a cider supper I'd heartily recommend it, the result is not disimilar to dearer end 'Vintage' style ciders, even using Smartprice, Basic etc. apple juice.

 

Unless my pal is decanting Westons into old soda bottles and passing it off as his own.

Always have a bottle of Red in but tend not to drink during the week either out or in unless watching Bolton.

 

Will no doubt have a glass or two today

This time of year piss easy to acquire apples for fuck all. Usually get loads and make an apple wine. Though not this time!

How come? The crap summer?

 

For the lazy with access to apples, hipster cider makers Moss Cider (get it?) in Manc would accept apples and return cider, quite a generous ratio too iirc. They used to anyway, they're probably a multi million pound business these days - using mad chemicals and backed by venture capitalist pigs.

I only drink on my own or with other people

I've had a thoroughly pleasant afternoon in the pub. It's an under rated pastime.

I think Sunday afternoon supping in autumn and winter is the best.
