Dr Gloom 21617 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I had a Sunday session yesterday at my mate's house. 4 bottles of peroni followed by 4 glasses of cava, then 2 glasses Rioja with lunch, two glasses of Chablis over dessert and chocolates, an Irish coffee and then a final 2 bottles of peroni for the road. Started boozing at 12 then had a long lunch with drinks, left for home about 19.30, with the wife taking the designated driver duties. Pint of water before bed at around 22.30. Woke up today feeling absolutely fine. #nails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If you're in your 30s or 40s and your mates are still pressuring you into drinking pints you don't want then you need new mates (imo ) I'd have nee mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Was just going to post the same thing. Fucking Chablis with dessert! What a waste. Your typical dessert wines are great (Sauternes etc) but i've got some sweet reds which go lush with chocolate desserts. As does Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 32189 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Or could could just tell them to grow up you big shandy drinking gay You've hurt my feelings now. HMHM gets a present from J69 Was out last night, just on the Guinness, got a takeaway, drank plenty of water with meal and don't feel too bad at all. Had a canny night, the odd bit of piss taking went on as it does between men in a bar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10543 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Was at a friends 30th on Saturday. Still a little under the weather now. Gemmil's wrong, water helps massively and the thimble that hotel's give you for a glass isn't enough to defeat the monstrous ruination of your head. Glad I wasn't the one driving from Preston to London after that, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmil's wrong, water helps massively and the thimble that hotel's give you for a glass isn't enough to defeat the monstrous ruination of your head. That's why I always make sure to buy a 2L bottle on the way to the hotel if I know it's going to be a heavy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43307 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The man who tried to use a hotel tumbler for his water consumption doesn't get to tell me I'm wrong. Water helps. It is not a cure by any stretch. At least not for me, but then as we all know I have an alcohol intolerance. It's the only explanation for someone otherwise so resilient to be put in such a bad way by a tiny amount of alcohol (3 pints can mean a brutal, brutal hangover).

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Brandy and Whisky goes nice with chocolate (especially dark chocolate*). *Not a euphemism. This is a rare but good sweet red that goes lush with chocolate. Typical to put it with the chocolate 'log' at Christmas (sniggers). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banyuls_AOC " These wines are typical examples of Banyuls - they have great balance and youthfulness. The red fruit flavours marrry well with – the full bodied nature of the wine and the smooth grenache tannins also mask the residual sugar, often found in excess in sweet wines. This rich character gives them a rare "drinkability" much loved by gourmands. The wine goes very well with chocolate, Banyuls and Chocolate being a famous food and wine match. The tannins found in cocoa and those found in the grenache grape are very similar! Other food matches are Gorgonzola, red fruit salad in Spring and fresh figs with plum purée in Autumn. Old parcels planted with mostly Grenache Noir and carignan" http://www.la-rectorie.com/mutes.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
