Hello ladies and gentleman

I thought being an advocate for alcohol, I'd start a thread enquring as to everyone's favourite bevarage. Fortunatly, in theme with this being a New Zealand site, my favourites are kiwi. My favourite beer is Speights Old Dark (no, I'm not a 60 year old man) and I love red wine from the Hawkes Bay region, Esk Valley being a particular favourite.

So join me as I pay a special tribute to all things alcohol...

Does a recovering alcoholic get better at being an alcoholic?
If so, I think I'm better now.

Favourite, Bailey's.
Usual, Kronenbourg top

I have red wine pretty much every night. Just a glass or two. It's good for the heart.

I don't think I would ever like to recover :scared:

There's a huge article in the Daily Telegraph about why wine and chocolate are good for you. I didn't bother to read the rest, that was good enough for me!

LOL! Well wine still has about 95 calories a glass, and I'm sure choccy is a lot higher still than that. Red wine is set apart from all other alcohols as it both raises good cholesterol and lowers bad cholesterol. All other alcohol does only one of those. I just can't remember which, d'oh!

my brother in law is a speights old dark fan, he fell in love with it when they came 10 yrs ago to NZ, am taking him some as his 40th birthday pressie when we meet them in oz after christmas

me I am a bit partial to strongbow cider, also a tequila fan (alone or in a margarita will do)

Littletoe

And it prevents deep vein thrombosis (a good reason to keep drinking it because of the flights to and from the UK), and choccie does the same I think, but I think it has be dark chocolate, apparantly anything other than that is evil, but I like to think that milk chocolate is provides my recommended daily allowance of calcium!

Littletoe

He's a good man! Old Dark you can eat with knife and fork and get all your nutrients, its like a proper dinner!

Has to be NZ Sauvignon Blanc, however, I'm also partial to a G&T or three. Like to have the odd blue lagoon.
OMG, can't believe that I forgot to put champagne as my absolute fave tipple
It's my job that drives me to drink. Honest.

Chocolate is also a good source of iron (the darker the better ). That's what I tell all my postnatal mum's. I usually try & order them a bottle of bubbly & fillet steak from their partners( to be waiting at home) before they are discharged. I AM a top midwife!!!!!!

[QUOTE=AnnieNell] You sure are! In my experience with a midwife here, husbands listen to them! I didn't have a tumble dryer and it rained for a few days after my daughter was born in Jan 2005, when she visited I was having a moan about not being able to get the washing dry. She was shocked to hear I didn't have a tumble dryer, so she shouted at Shane, who was in another room, 'get this woman a bloody dryer' in her brummy accent! And the next day he did!!

My favourite would be Longridge Sauvingnon, G&T, Tia Maria and coke, vanilla vodka and splash of lemonade and a shandy on a really hot day.
