    Was going to say beer but of course there is the wine, brandy and all the rest too.

    Between tomorrow and New Years Day I will probably drink the alcohol equivalent of around 16 pints over all.

    That might sound a bit mad to all you light weights or lesser beings if you will but it's true I tells yeh.

    Only I never drink on Christmas eve night (or "Xmas" for the sensitive) because a :) I have to make the dinner and b :) I have to eat it.

    But from then on t'is grand.

    What say you?

    16 pints is a quiet weekend of work.

    None. I'll still manage to have a good time, regardless of this terrible shortcoming.

    Probably a fair bit to be honest as that time frame includes Christmas and my birthday.

    A lot, my father in law is staying with us for a week and alcohol makes him bearable.

    I don't drink very much at all, as I tend to get awful hangovers the older I get. I'd normally drink a few glasses of wine maybe once every few months.

    I'll have a couple of glasses of prosecco at dinner and then I'll have maybe three or four Captain Morgan & Diet Coke's at the parent's house later in the evening. I'll pay for it the next day too...

    Actually a lot less than I normally would. Trying to cut down in general and it'll be nice not to be sleeping for half the day on Christmas.

    No matter how much I drink, I'll want more at the time and wish I'd had less the following morning.

    It's the only time of the year I drink so I'll have a good few between now and 1st Jan but I won't get drunk. Enough to get me festively merry and that's it.

    My birthday's on the 27th and I probably won't even go out for it, as I'll still be sick from the few measly drinks I had two days earlier. Christmas is a pain in the ass to have a birthday during, as I'm always either broke or paying for the Christmas excess. :pac:

    None, getting back into training at the moment, so it's best to avoid it. Will eat junk food though but not too much.

    I just never got started to begin with. I know if I had even one drink that I'd wish my head was cut off for days afterwards, so it's best to just avoid. I'm no fun with it anyway, and I'm dopey enough to amuse everyone without it.

    If only half the people that can't handle their booze had the same attitude as you, the world would be a better place.:)

    I had a singular pint of lager in Wetherspoon's last night with my fish and chips. That'll do me for Christmas...I find drinking highly overrated and a waste of time, money and energy!

    Having a beer right now.

    Will have a glass of whiskey tomorrow evening after the kids go to bed, and might get to a pub once over Christmas....if I do, I'll drink plenty.

    Probably have a glass of wine with dinner and then an Irish coffee in the evening but that is it. I get horrendous headaches if I drink anymore than that these days.

    I'm pregnant so will just be sticking to gin. I've heard that the juniper berries in it are great for unborn babies *
