5 pints of beer plus half a bottle of Martell cognac makes for a rather heavy drunken buzz...


anyone joining me tonight?

    i'm off the sauce for a while amigo... but you have fun :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Fair enoughski.

    I myself am certainly too far gone to claim sobriety tonight but wondering why I'm not a lot more drunk considering the quantity, and richness, of the alcohol I have imbibed :(

    :D that is a bit rubbish. I dunno, I just felt like drinking with a vengeance tonight. Had a thoroughly boring day, I have nothing but work and financial strife to wake up to tomorrow and I seem to be suffering from sort of inexplicable existential funk... my general cure for this kind of thing is to get as drunk as possible. Fantastic that it should coincide with a lovely bottle of cognac bought by a dear, dear friend for my birthday ;):p

    well, I have rather full day of working to wake up to, so I'll let you enjoy the cognac, I'll sip me cocoa :)

    ahhhh you've got me wanting cocoa now. Probably better for getting to sleep too.

    My housemate seems to have fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room and he has cocoa... I wonder if I can get some without him noticing :o:D

    the brandy'd finish me off by itself but following 5pints I'd be in a blackout the consequences of which could land me incontinent before the beak the morning after. You must have an iron constitution. Though I just can't handle spirits, beer's no problem.

    Admittedly this is spread over a whole day. I had my first pint at 12, my last at 5, started on the Martell at about 7ish.

    Even so, a while back this would have knocked me on my ass. Guess I built up a tolerance, which is slightly worrying.

    I just stuck the one Export Strength IPA in the freezer to make it less hairy-tasting, and then I'm off to bed. I've a gig tomorrow in that bonkers place you came to see me at back in May, and I'm on the bill with a load of metalheads, so I envisage that after my set I'll be finding somewhere cheap, either near King's Cross or back in Cambridge, in which to have a few bevvies.

    spread over 12hours it's okay, I'd thought you'd consumed it all this evening. I get a headache and dry mouth If I've spread a session out so long, usually the only one though.

    I might crack open that Red Hook seasonal sitting in my fridge. It's usually good luck for my hockey team when I drink. That's backed up by an extensive scientific study on my part. ;)

    You know I wasn't going to. But the events in the past hour I think I will have a drink or two.

    Miller lite.
    Drank the rest of my favorite, Franziskaner, last night. Yum.
    Excess in moderation.
