[Slink]

so when is just past 'too early' and getting into the 'ok to drink' time today?

and what are you going to be drinking today? cocktails? wine? just plain beer?

let it be known

Well I'm still drunk from last night but I've had a nice bottle of Stella to keep myself going this morning, it's never too early on Christmas.

Well I had a coffee at 7am and I will be on the Dr Pepper by noon....

A Stella sounds like exactly what I need right now but i have to drive later, dammit!

I miss the 80's when you could radomly drink and drive with no social stigma.

I'm regularly told stories of how 'back int'day' you were able to spend your evening in the pub then drive down to chippy later on and it be considered completely normal! Also of how being designated driver made no difference to how much you drank!

Yes, I remember when getting caught for DD people would say unlucky mate. Now it is a no no, and rightly so.

As if people needed reminding, but a sobering advert, which hopefully you've seen before.

Having lived in Australia for a number of years i can tell you that drink driving is still "no worries".

In Oz there were 1292 road deaths in 2011, pop 22 million, compared to 1901 in the UK, pop 62 million.

Even with those dramatic ads it's still not as bad a stigma as in the UK to drink and drive.






Anyway. Let's not divert this happy thread!

Second glass

I started at 11:00. I'm now on my second bottle of fizz, I'm going to kneck it whilst munching on my Christmas dinner (a bloody huge goose).
