I don’t drink alcohol anymore. I’ve never been a big drinker and never enjoyed it.
Christmas spirit

My drinks collection usually consists of having 6/7 large bottles in year round. I feel old, but I'm sure these "alcoholics" would disagree

Good to see some enlightened souls in here. Drinking is a total mugs game, especially cheep plonk designed to simply get you battered. Question your life choices.
(n.b. I have quite a sizeable list of exceptions to the above
but do question how much damage you're doing to your body).

Same here, although it's been running worryingly low this past year. Too full of bottles i don't like which take up space. Some Moet brandy, various bottles of spiced/smoked rum that people have bought me, tequila and cachasa.
What i really should do is clear it out and then have a bit of a spending spree at Masters of Malt and stock up on things i actually enjoy.
I expected the thread to be about Christmas cheer, but was left disappointed after being lectured about the dangers of alcohol.
Then again, this is OCUK so if you don't consume from Sonny's list of top revenue earner goods, you're a nobody.

Just make sure you don't drop a bottle on the floor, you might get aids from drinking from it.

The opening post mentioning Raspberry Sourz and Toffee Vodka should have given you the intel you needed
Tia maria if you make an espresso martini
Toffee vodka I never tried
Sourz I don't like
Taylor's port is ok a small glass
Amaretto if you make an amaretto sour is drinkable
Midori maybe if you mix in a cocktail
Prosecco only to make a toast
I actually bought some independant amaretto and it was much nicer than the usual offerings. A lot less sweet than Disoranno/the usual supermarket own brands and it was a lot better for it.
Good for you, (with fingers crossed behind my back), you probably won’t live for ever but it will feel like it.
I’ll be drinking Veuve Clicquot whilst opening gifts.
Chablis with starter (smoked salmon, oysters and prawns) (and vegan smoked salmon, vegan cream cheese & bagels for her)
Chocolate Block for main (roast pork and all the trimmings, chestnut and beetroot wellington for her). Also have a 2003 Margaux which I’ve had for ages so think this year it’ll get drank!
Margaritas, old fashioned and manhattans for cocktails throughout the day.
I’ve got a couple of kegs of lager for my Perfect Draft so will rotate them.
Also a few bottles of Lidl Cremant in the fridge.
Always a bottle of Bombay kicking around, there’s some port for Ruby Old Fashioned, and I have lots of whisky for a nightcap.
I went to her sisters last year in the morning, and got a bit too merry and it messed up the cooking of my duck so will take it a bit easier this year. I don’t get ****** on Christmas Day, but enjoy a few drinks throughout the day.

I like making cocktails so have a cupboard full of different stuff most of the year.
Baileys is the only thing we really get in at Christmas.

My somewhat snobbish wife dreads me going to parties at some of her more pretentious friend's houses as I dislike wine unless it's as sweet as honey, rarely drink spirits, but when I do it's Gordon's gin, and ask for a basic lager or beer whilst she and the rest of the drink afficionados try and make out they have some sort of Chateaux wine cellar hidden away, but are really probably enrolled in some Reader's Digest plonk club . The French and Italians bring some style to boozing, most of us modern day English just drink.
Edit: Go on, I'll admit I did enjoy some Polish hazelnut vodka, probably rot gut, but gonna come clean ..

I have emptied my garage of homebrew, so i'll just get beer as required. If I have lots, I drink lots, so that's best avoided.
There's a bottle of Amaretto at the back of a cupboard somewhere, which mostly gets used by the ole lady to make cakes.
Disappointed no-one is laying in stores of Creme de Menthe, Advocaat or Malibu.

What a brilliantly Scottish person post. Quotes drinking from morning till night with a variety of booze, and then suggests it's taking it easy
I thought that Crème de Menthe went out around the same time as spats, and Malibu went out with flares, but what do I know, they both may be the tipple of the up and coming crowd.
I’ve never tried Advocaat, but it suspect that it’s very sweet, and it always makes me think of eggnog which is popular at Christmas in the U.S.
