The drink...how much do you drink - gtom - 28 Nov 2013
Now being aware some of you folks are underage (not that it makes much difference these days!)
I'm interested in how much everyone knocks back the demon booze in their spare time!
Have to say, I'm well over the Government's limit. I work a lot from home and end up doing 60 hour weeks (though being mobile makes it less taxing as if I was office attached) and attend a lot of business lunches.
I looked at the past year and worked out I've been having on average, a bottle of wine a day. Now I know that isn't good but I don't consider myself an alcoholic. I don't drink during the day, I'm not dependent and can happily go without but its become almost routine!
So, NEB Forumers....fancy a pint?

I'm turned 18 last month so I can drink legally (yay!) I'm regularly partying with friends, whether it be their 18ths or just a random house party or a night out on the town and so on, so I do drink occasionally at weekends. Only downside is that I am a bit of a lightweight

Hardly drink at all these days. Only if I'm out with friends and we're at a pub or restaurant. Dread to think what damage all the Special Brew, Metz, and MD 20 20 done to me when I was a scholar

No idea, but it changes on a week to week basis - depending on where I am at and what I am upto.
The types of alcohol varies too - lager, beer and if I am having a nice meal, wine.
On a night out with my mates, then the odd spirit shot may be consumed.
Although none of that isn't set in stone.
I find after a long day at work/travelling I tend to consume more than if working from home, office or on a family holiday etc.
Genuinely can't remember the last time I was rolling drunk, although it did happen a few times in my youth.
I won't bother sharing or boring you with any stories though...

Speed Drinking used to be my the Pièce de résistance...
Used to make a canny wedge speed drinking around Durham, I could take 50 notes out and come home 100% richer...
I could sink a pint in 2 seconds and my speciaility is that I can drink an alcopop quicker than most drinking a pint...
These days I rarely drink, only on special occassions or holidays

Pzazz?
Pfft.
Chambers was the only place worth going to in Sunderland!
They had the likes of Danny Rampling, Judge Jules and others dj'ing there, including Ingrid who is now a cover presenter on Radio Newcastle! (it must have been when she was trying to re-invent herself after getting the boot from Metro)

Pzazz, theres a blast from the past, got barred for life from there on 2001 for arguing with a bouncer wbo bumped into me and knocked 2 pints I was carrying, the bouncer was having none of it that he soaked me, so I got stroppy, I think the life ban came because I threatened to burn the place down, called them Little Hitlers and told them to fuck off back to the Third Reich where they would fit in nice with Gestapo and Waffen-SS...
I also got a short term ban frpm Idols and Anabels(think its that) I was being refused a lot for being too drunk, but I knew the fire exit was not alarmed so my pals opened the back door for me to get in, I got caught after 3 or 4 times and got a 3 month ban
Who remembers Privilige above Brogans, Monday Night was pay a tenner and get free drink all night, I coildnt say how many times I barely made it home after that place
