I heard on the news today that officially 25% of british adults..summat like 33% of men and 16% of women have a serious problem with drink that will affect their lives in a negative way..either mentally or physically. I was REALLY shocked.

Yep its a problem. Thats why homebrewing is on the increase. In NZ you can even do home distilling, thats why there is less of a booze problem here.

You need to invest in a pair of Fit Flops. I use these to go from sofa to fridge as they give you a workout while you walk.

There's a good choice of both - I generally prefer West Island reds.

Yeah, I saw it. A long long time ago, One of my flatmates (a Kiwi lass) took me to her friend's place - then a (Kiwi) fella was making whisky at home. (he and his partner looked sickening with full body tatoo, not to mention their horrible house - sympathy for their poor kids )

I am sorry

I confess here

to me,

It was totally gross...It smells all over the place, it smells over the house.... made me wanna throw up. .... Seriously Yucky.. was just soooooo disgusting !!!!!

I wanted to get out of the place asap. but I just couldn't say words... to her..directly .

a nasty experience! I guess that's why I avoid hanging out with guys who drink Bourbon or something similar
