He sipped lime and soda all evening, then just as we finished the meal he looked at me knowingly and said, "Five pints."
"Just saying. It's a Thursday night and you've had five pints."
My language was... choice.
What's wrong with five pints over the course of an evening? Five pints is barely a drink!
Exactly. Especially as I have known him to easily drink twice that quantity over an evening and not consider that a particularly heavy one.
One of the words in my rant was 'smug'.
Not imbibing oneself is one thing, but actually counting another chap's consumption is beyond the pale imo.Exactly. Especially as I have known him to easily drink twice that quantity over an evening and not consider that a particularly heavy one.

I should think so too. Mind you I was so hungover yesterday I only managed three pints and was in bed by nineExactly. Especially as I have known him to easily drink twice that quantity over an evening and not consider that a particularly heavy one.

I was bought a lovely antique decanter for Christmas. The problem with this is that I have had to fill it with appropriately good whiskey. This, in turn, has made it necessary for me to drink said whiskey more frequently. I can't help but feel that this represents a slippery slope.I should think so too.

Actually, I'm guessing that asking you that question is particularly stupid.

Have none in the house at the moment though. Actuallly just finished a bottle of a rather good Bavarian one - something I thought I would never say
I have discovered the joy of alcohol free beer. Heineken Zero being my preference, I have 12 cans in my beer fridge at home.I should think so too. Mind you I was so hungover yesterday I only managed three pints and was in bed by nine
Of course, by 'joy' I mean a decent replacement that allows me to stay off the booze Mon-Thu as is my plan. Goodmans Canary Wharf at noon time today. Lager after lager with my steak followed by a Negroni to finish - and then the weekend starts
