New sub-forum?

Totally not because I'm drunk but I think a drinking or drink sub forum would be quite popular. Existing drinks, new cocktails, bar reviews, discussions on licensing etc I think it would be quite interesting.

A lot of the population drink some sort of alcohol so why not? Brb, I'm gonna go dance, a good tune just came on

There are more discussion about Food than drinks here.

If anything, a Food & Drink forum makes more sense, the food threads, the coffee thread can go in there....although that's about it. I don't ever recall seeing a bar review or cocktail recipe on here.

A food & drink sub forum should definitely get the go ahead imo.

Wont happen!

Raymond Lin · 17 Mar 2011 at 01:26

The only way it could happen is if there is enough material, i.e. enough football threads to warrant a football sub-forum.

I can't see food & drink will have that kind of following.

whats the point ? its not like GD is so busy that you miss all the food/drink threads

[FnG]magnolia · 17 Mar 2011 at 01:30

Terrible idea.

Interest will be low because you won't get the anti-alcohol zealots interested (which is a surprisingly large percentage of GD'ers).

You won't care about what the students recommend, e.g. "20 pints for a quid in some crap Student Union, yay!"

Recommending chains is pointless as service and quality differ.

Recommending one-off pubs is pointless unless we all lived in the same town or city.

I'm not seeing it.

Food and Drink would be ok.

On the food front, If people title the thread "Cooking with..." it's easy enough to search anyway.

apeZ · 17 Mar 2011 at 01:38

Please, please can we have a food and drink thread? At least a trial?

The front page of GD alone has 3 of these threads, it would be nice to have a place to keep everything together. Any general kitchen thread would go nicely in there too e.g. 'spec me knives' and a few posters might be nice enough to put together nutrition threads and the like.

There's not a high enough volume compared to the rest of the 'general' discussions going on here.

Like a dump forum! if its crap then dump it here! i like, plz dump

MikeHunt79 · 17 Mar 2011 at 04:18

You'd probably be better off just making a cocktail thread...

What we need is a link and run rss dump.

GJ02 · 17 Mar 2011 at 08:40

I suggested this a few months ago, and so have others.
Its a good idea as lots of people are asking for it.
I cant see it happening though, maybe its too hard to add another sub forum ?

Definitely. Would love to see one for sharing recipes and drink ideas, deals etc.

robotSocks · 17 Mar 2011 at 08:44

Oh God this, a thousand times this.

Then again, GD would be empty within the week
