Pimms - first drink o' the day

girls drink

Bet you were nibbling on a cucumber sandwich at the time.

I don't like cucumber much

Delta....have you ever tried it?

Delta? What is it?

pimms is a great drink if you're at the races - stronger than beer, not as strong as spirits and makes a nice long drink... can't beat it on a hot sunny day 

^ Shrewd

I just think it tastes awful.

On to Courage Directors chilled now

Incredibly, along with "Advocaat" I never tried "Pimms" until yesterday.
I took a bottle to a housewarming party, as I new the girl licked it.

It was refreshing, but not in the same league as my "Sangria"!

I like Mister Badger's summary.

strange girl imo, licking it ... but each to their own i say ...

You're a dark horse AP.

special brew here 

Im a borderline alco but never had a Pimms,come to think of it never had a Mojito.

....as I new the girl licked it.

Sorry guys but don't expect accuracy from me, as I've had beautiful people here for lunch, and some seriously competitive "Scrabble"......
....and yet more vino!

What you mixing with Aunty

Petrol I think.

Pimms is rank imo.
Amazed anyone liks it.

blackestnight....not having a go but how do you define what is "borderline?

Is that your own assessment or from a doctor etc?

Is it based on the fact that you do enjoy a drink, but can easily go without it?

If it is, then I wouldn't call it "borderline" as you are in control.

Hang on, just got to get another glass....

pimms is petrol

Honestly, i probably have 5 pints after work, a couple of cans at home with a $pliff and then its goodnight Irene.

Chaser....topical name. Aside from my fantastic "Sangria" and "G&T" I don't mix drinks.

What's the point in shelling out for expensive spirits, and adulterating them with Water, Orange, Dry Ginger, Coke, Blackcurrant, Lime.....etc?

If you are going to do that, might just as well have the cheapest spirits you can find.............

Five pints at an average ABV is eleven units.

Another two cans, at the same four percent, is + four units.

So that is fifteen units per day, unless you are on Stella and high ABV cans!

"Men should not regularly drink more than 3-4 units of alcohol a day."

I'm not lecturing as I've grown up with the stuff. As a teenager there wasn't much to do, so the pub was the place of choice.

I was so regular that, on a Sunday lunch and evening, my pint was on the bar when I went in!

Blackestnight.....you should cut down slowly....you don't want end up like Do Wah and have to give it up altogether.

I cant drink the 4% cans now waste of space
