There'd be riots in Wetherspoons if people were made to follow my level of abstinance.

The whole thing is a load of baloney which will mean/lead to more money passing from your pocket into that of the "government" - I use the term loosely - in order to pay for the fiasco that is British Politics. Cheating, thieving sods for the most part, with not a care for you or me.
If only 'being in government' meant 'radiating integrity' eh?

I don't drink anything like the guidelines. It's really funny when I go out on cycles with other people and they manage 3 or 4 pints.
Aperitif said:The big problem I have is the 'drink with' recommendation. "Enjoy responsibly" with chicken, or lamb, or strong meat, seafood. Anything with eyes etc...
As I don't 'do' any of that stuff, it is pleasing to see the words
"Drink alone as an aperitif"
Perfect.

Aperitif said:That wasn't giant - it was a trick of perspective.
Tonight, I got Tyrell's again - this time Blacksmith and anvil flavour - I forget. Hang on, I'll go and check the bin...

Told you it was something to do with tradesmen - it's cobblers! Only a Chilean Chardonnay tonight though - need to be on the bike tomorrow.
