Poll: did you drink on xmas day, if so how much ?

[Glaucus]

All day. Lack of nice drinks at my parents. They have nothing compared to my bar .


Natch
White wine
Rose wine
Red wine
Pink champaign
Port
G&T

They didn't have any vodka . Otherwise I probably would have passed out.

Missus was driving (i was driving boxing day though) so I was free to drink, went to her mums in the morning then mine for christmas lunch, had about 6 glasses of wine by then, another 2 with lunch, nice and jolly, carried on slowly with the whisky and lemonade til about 10 (probably had about 6 or 7 strong ones) went home, got a few coronas out, stuck some lime in them, watched the box with my wife for a few hours, I was chilled by then so we retired to bed, all in all a good christmas.

Drank steady all day was mine, enjoyed lots of cuban cigars and alcohol and food, christmas is when you can enjoy the finer things as much as you want, let go and not care if its incredibly bad for you, I love it.

For me it was - glass of sherry in the morning (yes, I know - but it's a Christmas staple), glass of bubbly before lunch, couple of small glasses of wine with the meal and a cognac afterwards.

I don't subscribe to the whole - "It's Christmas so let's get bladdered" thing - people drinking to get drunk is a bit sad IMO.

i dont drink to get drunk i drink to run away from my problems

Had a few when the family was about, then when it got a bit quieter I got drunk.

I wouldn't want to get wasted in front of family. Who knows what the results could be

 

[Kobrakai]

Just a glass of white wine with my xmas dinner, not really a big drinker.

 

[Tom0]

A pint and a glass of wine

 

[basmic]

I had a snowball, and a port later.

 

[Solari]

I hadn't touched a drop all over the past few weeks until tonight (3 bottles of Becks).

For some reason I'm just bored with drinking and it's more trouble than it's worth to go out nowadays. Haven't missed the hangovers either

 

[Bunka]

Had a few glasses of wine with dinner, and a glass of whisky. Nothing special.

 

[Substance]

Only had 2 bottles of lager, This was mainly due to the fact that i felt horrible after getting wasted xmas eve

 

[easyrider]

Cava and cranberry.

Then wine and vodka

Drank nothing boxing day.

 

[ajf]

Couple glasses cider (Westons Scrumpy) with the Christmas dinner - not keen on wine.
Also, lacking Brandy to light, used some Vodka on the christmas pud
Not sure what that does to the Vodka but nearly blew my head off.

[Dark_Injection]

Had about 4 pints with my meal, then 8 cans steadily and a few vodka and cokes through the eveninig.

Wasnt too bad, nice and easy going

 

[Freakitchen]

Had a nice amount on Xmas day, couple of glasses of Chablis with dinner, then a big bottle of Leffe Brune as a treat, finished off with two generous doubles of single malt (old Ballantruan).
