So who's got what in?
Me:-
Tia Maria
Toffee Vodka from Manchester Christmas market (I've tried it but this is the first time I've bought a bottle)
Rasberry and Strawberry Sourz
A bottle of Taylor's port (is it me or is this only available in the shops at Christmas?)
A bottle of Amaretto
I've still got to get some:-
Midori (it's a green Japanese melon Liqeuer)
Prosecco

I’d give all the above a miss or you’ll be back in hospital with indigestion.

Are you a fourteen year old girl who has raided their parents alcohol stash and found the half drank bottles from years ago? Because you drink like her.

Soju (Andong Soju) and Japanese whisky (Nikka Coffey) for me

No. Just thought I'd expand my repertoire and I don't do it all the time. What I'm going to do is use them as mixers (Must get some bitter lemon as wel). I tried it last year with some success.

I'm not going to drink them all in one go

A bit OT but when I was on a late shift at the Co-op last year they were getting rid of some liqeuers and spirits the couldn't sell so me and the crew that were in on the night in question were told to help ourselves to as many bottles as we could carry. I got two bottles of Baileys, a bottle of Rhubarb gin but I can't remember what else.
I gave the Bailey's to my mother along with the Rhubarb gin as I didn't know what to get her for Christmas and besides, I don't do gin and Bailey's

The real tragedy is that was the best presents he ever gave her.

This is my first Christmas in my own house and want to build up a nice collection of booze for people to enjoy. So far we've got:

3 bottles of Baileys
24 bottles of Budweiser
Bottle of Amaretto
1 bottle of Jack Daniels
24 Bottles of Coors Light
Bottle of Captain Morgan
24 Cans of some fruity Cider the Mrs picked
3 bottles of wine, no idea of names

I would like to pick up something else but not sure what, maybe some nice Vodka, any recommendations..?

When will you be buying the nice booze then?

Worrying amounts of alcohol here, but maybe that’s an age thing. Older generations seem intent on drinking to death…

This has to be a sleeper account for @cheesefest

Toffee vodka is great! Lovely and warming, had it for the first time on a ski trip.

Oh and Baileys. Could drink it by the pint.

I think it's more of a jealously thing. See OPs NHS thread for example. Before cheesefest he was the most popular supermarket worker. How the mighty have fallen.
