    Well Christmas for me started last Thursday at 1 o clock. In that time I've had about two bottles of spirits and 15+ pints. Stephen's night and New Years will be carnage also. Thinking of it now I'd rather not think how much I am going to drink...my poor poor wallet

    Heading into the Porterhouse this afternoon for some Belgian brews, chicken wings and a catch up with a mate. Will sip on brandy and coke with mulled wine throughout Christmas Day. I will be perpetually tipsy for the day without being drunk. Stephens Day I will darken the doors of Kielys in Donnybrook for the Leinster match having accomplished two things prior to this; eat a big turkey dinner and have a massive leg workout. Then I'll be dry until New Years. Quantifying this alcohol; 25 pints.

    Been drunk every second day since last Thursday. More by accident than design. Off it today as I'm doing the visiting tonight and have to drive. Back on it tomorrow. Probably about two litres of vodka and 20+ pints by new years day. I hate myself.

    A lot. Treated myself to a bottle of 18 year old Jameson so I'll sip away at that tomorrow.

    Did you ever consider inflating hot air balloons with your utterances?

    Could be a useful nixer.

    Make sure you don't fall off that high horse. Be a shame if an injury prevented you enjoying the true meaning of Christmas

    I've got a nice bottle of Chianti, so that should last me to New Years I suppose.

    The hubby has some craft beers in the fridge, so we might be sharing one or two of those. And there's this year's plum liqueur for after dinner.

    I aim for "a little tipsy", as I can't stand being really drunk, and it's never worth the hangover afterwards.

    Won't drink at all. I make a point about not drinking at home, and pubs are too busy during Xmas for me to want to go.

    I'm contemplating giving it up completely, as i get older it becomes more and more pointless to me.

    Probably will be none but only because I'm really skint and what little money we have is best spent on the kids,
    Nothing against anyone else having a good time it's just how things are right now.

    Today: Nadda
    Xmas Day: Nadda
    Stephen's Day: Nadda
    Some evening between and New Year's Eve: A few in the pub
    New Year's Eve: As yet uncertain, but likely nadda

    As you can see, Xmas is not a boozy holiday for me. :)

    I've intentionally not really drank for the past 10 days other than the very odd single pint, but I'll have a fair few on Christmas day. With all the food and everything else, I only ever really get very tipsy rather than very drunk.

    A friend of mine said he woke up early last Stephens Day puking all over himself in bed, with no memory of the end of Christmas Day. Never want to be that guy!

    Probably not going to drink at all. I don't mind people drinking at all if they want to but I've kind of got tired of spending money on it :P

    Was lucky he woke up at all, could have been a very nasty discovery for somebody.

    I'll probably drink the equivalent of 16 pints in the next day and a half alone. Then its on a plane and off back to Estonia where my alcoholism is actually quite moderate in comparison to the locals.
