What are you drinking on Christmas Day?

[nickyboy]

...and before the usual suspects jump in with "Ooooh...I haven't touched a drop for 20 years, etc etc", this is for alcohol only, special dispensation for non-alcoholic breakfast drinks

1. Yorkshire Tea, several cups thereof whilst watching the pressie opening
2. Then it can start, a nice glass on Manzanilla sherry with some nibbles
3. Rellies rock up, Bucks Fizz. I'd prefer we open some champagne but I always get outvoted
4. Main event, bottle of red, bottle of white to share. Both nice Italian stuff
5. Cheese course....Vintage Port, the only time of the year I drink what is a luxury item for me
6. Evening descends into an oblivion of Cointreau

Coffee in the morning on my walk..
Pomegranate cider in the afternoon..
Hot chocolate before bed..

Whatever beer I can lay my hands on when I go to Tesco in a while, plus the brandy that's already in the cupboard.

Hopefully they'll have a few cans of Double Punk and Mr President in stock.

I was under the impression that bucks fizz IS champagne, ruined with orange juice?

FWIW... I'll be on my usual, cans of draughtflow Guinness, and when my bladder starts to cave in, revert to Jamaican rum with a dash of coke.

I'm wondering whether we should all have a small glass of absinthe and err....... drink to absinthe friends

 

[ianrauk]

I have lined up for myself

Tea
Mulled Wine
Spiced Rum & coke
Hobgoblin bottles of...

We are planning a pub visit so a nice pint of Whitstable Pale will be had also

Coffee for breakfast
More coffee
Champagne
I’m drinking Cobra recently, so more of that.
Rose for lunch.
Maybe some IPA

Interspersed with more coffee.

Bean to cup…. Get you!

Yes, I didn't know whether to admit it.......should I have written Nescafe?

 

[fossyant]

I shall stick to beer or some nice 19 Crimes Red. BIL's may descent into a Gin competition, although my mum has declared it Gin free after they both got paralytic a couple of years ago. Brother will probably drink too much red and spill it everywhere (does it all the time at family doo's).

Port is very likely. Same Boxing Day.

Mulled white cider snakebite all day for us. Maybe the odd Drambuie when it gets too heavy.

Simple and festive.
