I do like a drink but have not had one in over 2 years. I had ¼ of a glass of wine in Italy just over 2 years ago and nothing for 3 or 4 years before that.

Perhaps I’ll treat myself to a drink over Christmas. I like all sorts of quality craft beers, real cider, wine….not so much spirits, don’t mind them but not crazy about them either.

    I used to really enjoy craft beer but it sadly no longer agrees with me. Since then I’ve taken a real interest in wines, mostly French and Italian. Chinon (cab franc) being my favourite as it is goes so well with food.

    The quality of English sparkling has sky rocketed, easily matching and often bettering French champagne, so I drink that as often as my wallet permits. Offerings from hambledon and rathfinny are the best I’ve tried so far….

    Also been getting into whiskeys more recently as I’ve got a few friends who are really into it. Nice to be able to try theirs before I commit to buying a bottle for myself.

    I did not drink while having chemo and have not drunk that much since but still enjoy one when I do partake. The problem is I find that I cannot drink as much nowadays. I am now a Cheap date for the wife.

    -Mac funnily enough I had my first Islay a few weeks ago (Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire) gorgeous stuff ; )

    just ordered a bottle for the Xmas period.

    I’ve recently got an obsession for cocktails and started buying bottles to build up the bar just in time for Xmas. Tried a Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, Negroni, Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri. Some great content on YouTube such as Anders Erickson, The Educated Barfly, How to Drink and Steve the Bartender.

    Pretty much enjoy all types of drinks in moderation of course!!

    I do rather like that Roku gin from Suntory, I agree about the bottle too.

    This is a great way to do it. Everything lasts you a very long time this way - but you have to have a dedicated strategy for regular replacing otherwise you’re facing a massive financial hit to stick up again once the last drop is done

      Thanks :) To be honest, I only have about one double per week so it’ll last a long time.

      Tea and water are my other most commonly drank drinks. I don’t like beer too much but I drink it when out with friends at the weekend in the pubs or out for a meal.
