I'd imagine you never drink mature 13-year-old whisky, then!
Although presumably you mean freshly bought.
How much booze will you be having this Christmas/New Year?

In theory, I wont need to touch the car from about 4.30 this afternoon until next Tuesday when we go out to meet up with extended family.
So I may have a few bevvies, but nothing ridiculous. I don't have a huge body tolerance for alcohol, and I don't like the feeling of being intoxicated, so although we seem to have enough drink in the house to float a battleship, I will be only partaking of a little of it.

Send it to the CC ride on Tuesday, we'll dispose of it for you
Plenty of booze in our house, but I'm now getting to that time in my life when after a couple of pints I'd rather have a cup of tea than more booze.

Not just you, there appears to be quite a change in attitudes regarding alcohol consumption. Going back to the early days of CC, or maybe it was C+, there were similar threads to this and it seemed everyone would be intending to consume vast quantities of alcohol at Christmas.
Perhaps the average age of CCers is higher than it used to be?

My wife and I decided a few years ago that we just weren't interested in New Year's Eve, so it's become our tradition to make a point of going to bed early on 31st December (for the purpose of sleeping, alas). I find the idea of seeing in the New Year with some kind of outdoor activity far more appealing than staying up the night before and getting drunk - for the last few years, I've done a New Year's Day duathlon - Whitstable parkrun at 9am, then ride 30km over to Margate for the parkrun there at 10.30. Alas, there is no Margate parkrun on 1st Jan this year - blessing in disguise with current levels of fitness, tbh.
Best way to avoid a hangover the next day is to not stop drinking, right?
My festive drinking will start tonight - we're going out for dinner with a load of my wife's relatives, and since the restaurant is walking distance from the hotel, there's no impetus for restraint. Although tomorrow I'm planning to get up early for parkrun, and then we've got a 120 mile drive up to my brother's place, so probably best be careful not to really overdo it.
I suspect I won't stay sober very long once we get there - my brother's big thing for this Christmas is his Gin Bar, stocked with about a dozen different gins, and I shall be expected to taste the lot. On top of that, he's tasked me with supplying the beer, so I've brought a polypin of Old Dairy Snowtop, plus a good supply of bottles of Romney Marsh Cinque Porter and Best Bitter.
He's also dragging me out for a fell run with his club on Boxing Day, which is going to be... interesting.

The posh name is far better: spittoon.
the nearest smiley to spitting I could find.If I feel up to it,but I'm working on 24/27/28th so no drink on nights or days before a shift...Probably New Years Eve.
Christmas has no interest to me and if I had to work at this time I would not be too fussed.Probably why I'm more interested in seeing in the new year,
