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.

Wasn't Gin always associated with alcos and made you seriously depressed whilst under the influence?

I've heard this and I doubt it has any basis in science. The active ingredient that gets you drunk is ethanol, it's same in every drink. As far as I know there isn't anything else added to gin that makes you depressed anymore than vodka or beer or whiskey. People who drink 3 bottles of gin a week get depressed because they're alcholics, it would be the same no matter what they drink. It's like saying certain drinks give you worse hangovers, anecdotal nonsense.

I've gotten smashed off pretty much every type of drink there is, it's the quantity that matters, not what form you consume it in.

I have never read such eloquent hate in my life.
And all so true. One might generally tend to think hate is a bad thing - but sometimes it really does come into its own.

Don't think so. Cheap vodka is the real final stop, end of the line drink for serious alcos.

I take offence to this! Manys the bottle of tamova I drank in my college days and I'm no alco :pac: Tesco vodka is the worst of the worst really. Even then I found it totally undrinkable no matter what it was mixed with.

I love nothing better than a G&T in the RPH of a morning. I find I play better Bridge inebriated early afternoon.

I don't like gin, but I've tried it a couple of times. Any time I've drank it, I end up a sobbing mess. I don't mean a single tear, delicately blinked out of my manly eye, I mean full on, can't breathe, puffy, blotchy, teenage girl when her boyband breaks up kinda crying.

I generally go with the "Alcohol is alcohol" myself, but when I drink gin, tissues get ruined.

I had a friend who used to drink buckfast mixed with jameson and whenever he drank that mix he always got in a fight (and won) he used to blame that paricular drink mixture but i think he just used it as an excuse when he was in the mood for a scrap

Any time I've ever drank it I've been a raging cnut for about a week after.

Brilliantly condensed spleen OP, bravo! Delighted to see it get so many likes too :P Gin is absolutely disgusting in my opinion, it boggles my mind how anybody could like it.

Nah, even back in '94 it was cool to drink G&T. Although in those days we called it "Supersonic"

I drank gin and bitter lemon in the 80s and some people thought I was a quare. It sickens me now how "trendy" it has got.

Have you drunk other full strength spirits in the same quantity at the same speed?

G&T are very easy to knock back quickly, catching people out.

Bucky and Jameson? Bleck, dirtbird.

Everyone knows Vodka, Redbull and Bucky is scrap juice.

I thought gin was made from sloe berries? I remember trying to eat them before and they were disgusting.

Juniper berries (technically not a berry).
Sloe gin has sloes in it, funnily enough.

Vodka, rum, whisk(e)y, tequila, whenever the mood takes me. Usually happy go lucky, rarely angry (now), and may decide that I'm finished and the off switch gets flipped, and I shut down for a sleep.

G&T? Well, (Gin and juice really, because tonic is piss) You're a prick, and she's a ****, and I miss me dad.

My good wife is quite partial to a gin. Currently her favourite gins are Hendricks (expensive) or Boyles gin (not as expensive as Hendricks, but bloody expensive for Aldi)

I met her in 2001.

In a pub.

She was drinking gin then too.

She usually has her drink in a small tumbler style glass. Maybe served with a dash of tonic or bitter lemon and an ice cube.

She's been drinking her gin like this (although it was Gordon's gin up until about 4 or 5 years ago) since I met her.

She doesn't drink it from a goblet/chalice.

She doesn't plonk celery/rhubarb/cucumber/seaweed nor any bolloxollogy in to the mix.

Simply gin. Ice. Mixer.

What's the problem here?

Besides her rampant alcoholism?

Not really. Sloe gin is bog standard gin with sloes and sugar added and left to macerate for a couple of months, then strained. Easy to make yourself as I do every year.

Juniper berries. They're more like a spice thing you might add to some roasts.

My OH has a 3 litre jar of sloe gin on the go for Christmas using berries picked from the ditch outside the house. My eldest son has her this way. Lovely lad, but a bit of a GW

Does being a gin distiller make me the ultimate gin wanker?

I have some cork dry gin in my house for an unfashionable aged relative who turns up every Christmas. Otherwise I never touch the vile stuff. She'll be delighted to know she’s hipster now. (Although she has been working on the beard for a while so she’s been trending that way).

Christ even the mention of Cork Dry Gin gives me shivers. My grandfather used give me some of it when I used help him on the farm in the winter. When I asked older lads to buy me drink for discos I'd ask for a few cans and Cork dry gin as that's what I knew would be safe. How dumb I was. The real puberty came after you drank a naggin of that.
