Gin ****

[Deleted User]

Good god I hate gin ****, I hate them. They're absolutely everywhere nowadays. Ubiquitous bastards. Look at ya there, standing with your poxy goldfish bowl full of gin with seawood or lettuce or probably kale swirling around in it you hipster piece of sh*t. ''It's got cucumber in it so it's one of my 5-a-day lol''. No, no it's not. You're a wanker. And gin bars are now a thing too? ''Uh sorry, what tonics do you recommend?''. Seriously, you try-hard motherfcukers. Stop trying to be into gin. Get that perfect filter for your gin pics... well you can fcuk off too Lovin' Dublin or whatever clickbaity gick is on the bandwagon this week. Gin tea bags, gin biscuits... Christ make it stop. Gin was the tipple of hairy lipped ladies back in the day was it not? Auld ones playing bridge or something? Now the girls drinking it are youngones that, this time last year, were falling around locked on blue WKD bawling their eyes out on street corners. Now it's all Gin + Doggy Ear Filter + Be Rude Not To caption. Who would it be rude to? Who?!

God I despise you all.

It's so hipster to call something hipster these days.

Only a wanker would get hung up about what other **** drink.

The problem is we have a profusion of ****. First it was just the wine ****, but there weren't very many of them and we could safely ignore them. Then there was the craft beer ****. Next thing you know we had whiskey ****, coffee ****, and now it's gin ****.

Non-**** are a dying breed and we're feeling under threat as the **** close in on us from all sides, with their beards and their tattoos, furiously, menacingly ****

It’s a classic drink it tastes quite good it makes you drunk and you don’t need to pour gallons of it into your stomach to ‘get anywhere’.

What’s not to like?

Whatever happened to good old Gin n Juice?

I succumbed to the G&T trend recently and had my first gin, tonic and rhubarb mixer. Oh my lord, it was the nicest alcoholic drink I've ever drank and it was from a local gin distillery to me too. I think I'm a covert now because I like the taste, not because I want to follow a trend.

If you're the guy who thinks everyone else is a wanker that usually means it's actually you who is the wanker.

Same goes for you OP. Nobody who's the full shilling could get that angry over other people enjoying a drink that you personally don't enjoy. I suspect a deeper issue is the cause of this outburst. Come on OP, you can tell us we won't judge.

I was in my local sitting at the bar having a couple of beers when a young one in her early 20's came up and asked for a Gin and Tonic, the bar man poured it and said that'll be whatever the price is , and the young lady say's I kid you not " Sorry I want it in one of the big fancy glasses " Bar man replies "sorry we don't have any left " so she say's "oh well then i'll have a glass of persseco instead "
What a GOOOOOONNN

The thing about this "craze" is that it's quite the potent drink, and is a known depressive. And yet it's marketed as THE thing to drink now. I actually think it's quiet a dangerous thing to be peddling, particularly to younger people who mightn't be responsible drinkers in comparison to "traditional gin drinkers".

I was drinking Gin and sporting a beard in 2004 - I think I can safely say I wasn't in it for the fad...

Not a big fan of gin but i do like this rant, OP.

RobertKK

I like gin.
A good gin with some tonic water is nice.
It seemingly annoys some people and my only problem with gin is that I have none left and I need to buy a bottle of it to go with the tonic water...

“The most dangerous drink is gin. You have to be really, really careful with that. And you also have to be 45, female and sitting on the stairs. Because gin isn't really a drink, it's more a mascara thinner. "Nobody likes my shoes!" "I made... I made fifty... ****ing vol-au-vents, and not one of you... not one of you... said 'Thank you.'" And my favourite: "Everybody, shut up. Shut up! This song is all about me.”

Nothing nicer than a few G&Ts to round of the night after a mountain of porter!

Pass the gin rag luv. Really interesting podcast about it.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the craze for gin in Britain in the mid 18th Century and the attempts to control it. With the arrival of William of Orange, it became an act of loyalty to drink Protestant, Dutch gin rather than Catholic brandy, and changes in tariffs made everyday beer less affordable. Within a short time, production increased and large sections of the population that had rarely or never drunk spirits before were consuming two pints of gin a week. As Hogarth indicated in his print 'Beer Street and Gin Lane' (1751) in support of the Gin Act, the damage was severe, and addiction to gin was blamed for much of the crime in cities such as London.

Its also great for simple classic cocktails. Great rant though.

I'll be honest I never liked it when all you could get in most bars was gordons and scweppes tonic with a slice of lemon. But the all the new ones are tasty. I'm not going to pretend I can tell the difference bewteen to different gins by taste but the new range of tonics like elderflower etc have made the whole thing much tastier.

Was in a pub recently and some twat was being a bit of a cnut to the barman about whatever Gin he wanted and showboating to two women he was with.

It dawned it me there and then that it was actually down to him just being a cnut rather than the particular foodstuff or drink about which he was being cnuty.

A revelation, really.

G&T can be a refreshing drink to take in hot climates. Wasn't it first put together by British soldiers serving in India?

I remember John Huston saying how himself and Humphrey Bogart used Gin for everything whilst filming the African Queen in the Congo, they even brushed their teeth with it.
He claims they were the only two on set not to take ill over the duration of the shoot.

When I started drinking gin, I felt like Audrey in Coronation Street, it was that uncool. And not even in a cool way. I know it’s a bit of a hipster thing currently - gin is having a “moment” as full-of-shit fashion journalists might say but it’s a bogstandard drink that been popular for a long time before that. And if current fashion is tarting up my favourite drink, I’m going to enjoy it!
