    Dear Citizens of BGRH,

    as you may be aware, drink is bad for you. Thankfully, those thoughtful folks over at drinkaware.ie have compiled a list of sensible advice for those of us that tend to overindulge somewhat and feel it is their duty to bring it to our attention the fallacy of our intimacy with alcohol.

    So, if you are going on a night out, among the nuggets of advice are the following:
    • Drink water regularly to stay refreshed and hydrated
    • Remember that too much drink will do nothing for your looks - you're drop dead gorgeous until you drop down drunk
    • Eat before you go out, or during the evening

    and my personal favourite:
    • Don't accept drinks from strangers and never leave your drink unattended - it's all too easy for someone to spike your drink… with more alcohol, for example.

    imagine somebody putting extra alcohol in your drink

    So there you have it folks, drink is a gift from the gods, cherish it.

    Thank you Brother Tom, I shall certainly watch out for strangers putting more alcohol into my alcohol. And if for some reason they don't, I will drunkenly harangue them until they do.

    Brother Zaph, I feel it is our duty to educate the masses in all things beer.

    We shall expose the charlatans, we shall harangue the teetotallers, we shall shun the vegetarians*. It is out moral obligation.































    *aside from irishbird. Of course

    Is there any information regarding the whereabouts of these alcohol spikers? :D

    Why yes, yes there is.

    I believe it is on the internet. Somewhere.

    Drink water regularly? Water? There's too much water in my pint in the first place! It's a proven fact that it's the water and sleep that give you a hangover (I may have misplaced the scientific research proving this tho...)

    Another good reason to be on friendly, first name terms with your local bar-keep.... and every other bar-keep in a 12 mile radius.

    :)

    Spike my alcohol with more alcohol. Jesus, the bloody problem in the first place is that most of the sh*te I'm drinking is mostly water. If anything the barman is probably siphoning out the alcohol when I'm not looking.







    P.s...I should point out that I don't know if this is possible, but I have my suspicions. *glares at people nearby*
