in a totally unscientific experiment we reckon we are getting around 12%, but avoid the "turbo yeasts", quick yield yeasts take it to 24% in 7 days, did my liver in! all good now tho!

Mostly though on friday I'll be testing budwieser

Closely followed by copious amounts of red wine, shiraz or merlot usually

You sound just like my dad and his brothers ... Larger then red wine

solarman216 · 01-02-2013, 23:35

red wine first, followed by lafroige(spelt it wrong but who cares) neat, rick

solarman216 · 01-02-2013, 23:38

makeitfit, I like your life, sloes oh lovely mate more of it, Rick

Rick, glad someone on here likes a proper drink, quite partial to a Laphroiag myself, or a Bunnahabhain usually with a tiny splash of Scottish water. Isle of Jura is always a pleasant glass too.

Real Ale's, Clarkes Classic Blonde or Timothy Taylors Golden Best. Went away a few months back to Lincolnshire for a whole week without the wife and ended up on Pear Cider yum yum. Love Port, York House Port is a good one.

But I rarely drink

I could regale you with 100s of alcohol related fk ups from my youth mate, its just normal ...

My favourite tipple is a malt whisky or two. Highland preferred over the Islay ones, but only just.

However, not all my liquid presents are malt.

Bells or Teachers we recycle, ie birthday presents etc, but other medium quality blends like famous grouse etc I use as mixers.

Try this one...

Rusty nail.
one large shot of Drambuie, an equal shot of NON Malt Whisky (Scotch) or even Whiskey(Irish) Never Malt, what a waste, and Never bourbon, spoils it.
Add a few lumps of ice, stir and enjoy.

My wife hates Drambuie, she also hates neat scotch, but when mixed 50/50 she really enjoys it.

In fact I was actually drinking a " Rusty Nail" when I looked at the words and my Login id was born.

Cheers, Rustic

Sorry guys not touched a drop since 1985 .

Lighter coloured real ales and red wine if 'drinking'.
A triple measure of Highland Park with a splash of water for 'unwinding'!

It was the missus that got me in to Whisky! so it's nice that we can both sit and have a dram together.

happens to most at some point, feck i ended up in hospital with my head split open & i only had 1 red square reloaded! some fecker spiked it! just be careful, bee with folk u trust & know ur limits

i personally am a picky drinker, pernod & fresh orange or peach snapps & lemonade, sourz, vodka is a rarety these days, tryed jager bombs last year they good but i was still standing after a night of shots only. ut i ain't a regular drinker far from it ur lucky if i drink 3 times a yr.
