As I like the feeling of control I get out staying sober, I have reduced my alcohol intake to almost none in recent years.

Mind you, some mornings it still takes up to three double espresso coffees to get me going.

[bribones]

that wasnt the question lol ,just becouse you drink doesnt always mean you have to get drunk

[gag1]

[bribones]

I\'m partial to odd glass of sherry

aye lol me too but i find it doesnt agree with whatever else im drinking

[mark]

Vodka vodka vodka, or a good single malt if I\'m feeling particularly well chilled out. Lochnagar is my current fave

[alan]

John Smiths,Port,Red wine and decent Whiskey :P

[Chris_Hughes]

OK Brian, I like Fairtrade Cafedirect Rich Roast Dark & Full Bodied. 2 table spoons to about 3 fluid oz of water through the Gaggia Coffee Maker. 4 of those and you can walk on the ceiling! 5 and you might get some sleep in a couple of days time and you are likely to have some involuntary facial muscle spasms. I guess the kids might get me some thing extra special like some Lavazza or Illy or Percol Rocket Fuel (has a health warning on the packet) or Carte Noire for Crimbo.

smirnoff vodka

mind you if ink was alcholic id sup it
hahaha

vodka rules,ive got one in front of me right now

nowt wrong with a stella frenzy tho

[mark]

Illy.....

Illy now do a dark roast version! (black tin) didn\'t think you could roast it any darker than illy is normally

dogs doodahs and no mistake

[TC]

Not really too keen on lagers.....
Pint wise, it would be either John Smiths or Theakstons Bitter.
Spirit wise......dark navy rum.....any brand will do...lol, but Capt. Morgan\'s a canny bloke...OR a nice 12yr old single malt.

Tried a bottle of Broon Ale years ago........I felt like a failed Geordie......bloody awful stuff (mind you, it was warm.....lol)

not a big drinker but i do indule in a few glasses of home made
sloe gin or a port and brandy

mmmmmmm

Mark, I\'ll look out for that Illy dark roast. For every day drinking, the Fairtrade Cafedirect stuff takes some beating on flavour and cost and I like to think that the peeps at the growing end of things are getting a better deal than that they would get from Nestle (Nescafe). According to Mrs Hughes the Fairtrade tea is OK as well.

Is there a fair trades side to alcoholic drinks ? I would buy wines and spirits from organisations where the growers have a big input into the production. Perhaps the treasury could undertake to return some of the duty back as overseas aid as well.
