I always get a soft drink while I'm eating, then move on to the alcohol afterwards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer goes with very few types of food IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don’t drink anything with a meal. It seems this is unusual.Tbh I mostly have a drink sitting with meals, but rarely touch it till I have ate all my food. Unless I am really enjoying my food and trying to string it out rather than demolish in 2 minutes flat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing that can’t be improved by having 5 pints of Stella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat pride of place amongst the other cheeses with it's massive font jumping out at you. Hard to believe it took the BLM movement for people to think that perhaps it was inappropriate and have it removed but here we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I find that as some people age they don't want to get "out of control drunk" the way you do when you drink all day without eating and they tend to insist on inserting food into the festivities in order to temper the affect of drinking all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my granny and I getting a lift into town with a neighbour one day. There had been a big drink driving campaign and he explained to us that he felt that he drove better after a few glasses of whisky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, he's mostly Maine Coon and seems to have inherited their fascination with water so submits to a bath readily enough. The one I dread it happening to is our wee black shorthair...trying to stick him in a bath would be like trying to bathe a stick of dynamite while it's exploding. My neighbour has three cats and they regularly shit in my garden flower beds and I know folk go on about how bad it smells but I think dog shite is much worse. I picked up a piece of buried cat shit thinking it was a bit of clay and broke it apart with my bare fingers and a few maggots fell out. Awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don't know how anyone can eat a meal without anything to drink. I can't put anything in my mouth without wanting something to wash it down. Water with a meal and alcohol afterwards is the correct answer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Having an alcoholic drink with a meal is a delight. I consider it a treat. If I’m going out for a meal I’m definitely having a drink, whether it’s a glass of red with my steak or a glass of white with my seafood tagliatelle. As others have pointed out, a beer with a burger or even a steak pie is acceptable. For dessert I’ll maybe have a liquor coffee alongside my chocolate fudge cake.People who aren’t drinking alcohol with their meals are missing out big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Being asked if I want to "round up" to the nearest pound for "charity" at the Tesco self-service checkout. No. No I do not. Sort it out @G_Man1985. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People being asked to donate to charity when they can't afford to can make them feel bad/guilty. It's also quite likely older and vulnerable people who aren't great with technology will click yes without realising. I've just looked into it and it is only lasting for 2 weeks so I've calmed down now. I assumed it was going to be an indefinite thing. Still don't like it.
