    From Wired magazine: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/07/alcohol-social-gene/
    Individuals who inherit a particular gene variant that tweaks the brain’s reward system are especially likely to drink a lot of alcohol in the company of heavy-boozing peers.

    So, is the answer to this drinking alone? Or drop a few friends?

    Or, in true BGRH style, invite all your friends around and drink even more than you normally would?

    I cannot see the appeal of drinking. Who wants to get hammered and then at the end of the night get a big dirty meaty burger?
    It was my birthday the other day and I had two of my girl friends over and we watched Confessions of A Shopoholic,had a salad washed down with lots of water,it was so filling!

    Well if that isn't a good idea I don't know what is. Perhaps we could end it with a curry cheese chip and a chicken fillet burger with red sauce,onions,cheese and bacon? Hold the lettuce and mayo please,as I don't like men.

    No, it is common knowledge in here that I hate cheese. Therefore it is the most evil food known to man. :D

    I've said it before,there are a few things in life that make anything better.
    Cheese,bacon and caramel. Melted cheese on a burger is one of those rare occassions where I jizz in my pants without any stimulation. The other time is when Elton John....I joke.

    Tom can I take Greetings down to the cellar for re education, please?
    Pretty please, I am sure the new sound proofing needs to be tested properly.

    I think drinking with drinkers makes you drink more due to the rounds system and that we find it hard to make a fuss and refuse hospitality and we seem to tink that everything is better with a few drinks, and for the most part it is.

    Please do. I just can't cope with any more talk of non-drinking and the like.

    Actually, take smashey down there with you and give him a cheese sandwich.

    No, that is not an euphemism for something deranged.

    Irish cheddar with porter. :eek:

    Two things here, and in this case two negatives do not make a positive. I detest porter almost as much as I detest cheese. :cool:

    I'm afraid the effort of getting there is ruling me out. However,if you could come back with some food and drink I would happily share it with you.
