    Definitely. 12 bottles of anything is about 7 pints. I'd wager that you'd drink 12 bottles quicker than you'd down 7 pints as well, or most people would anyway. Plus, it's 4.7% versus, say 4.3% for Guinness, so you're talking about 8 pints of Guinness, relatively speaking.

    Anyone claiming they wouldn't get a hangover after 8 pints is a spoofer or a hard man.

    I've drank a full case of Canadian Molson a few times and never had anything next day apart from a slightly soft head. Saying that, I generally drink 5% upwards to 9% so lower ABV beers don't do much for me. To say you are guaranteed a hangover from 8 pints is nonsense - it's all individual and related to tolerance.

    Didn't say I was brand new, felt I had been drinking the night before but nowhere near something I'd describe as a hangover. Is it so hard to believe someone might be able to handle more drink than you?

    That's not what I said, or even implied, but you know that.

    Pint of water does the trick. Before bed and a pint by the bed..

    A tray of Molson is akin to 24 cans of water before bedtime anyway.

    Sorry if I've missed it, but are Dunnes doing the usual 2 for 50 on litres of spirits and slabs for the bank holiday?

    tesco are 4 for a fiver, so a tray for €30. I expect they will have the cases on offer within the next week. They are always going on offer, but never much stock.

    The 4 for 5 packs look almost identical to the regular cans, so be careful what you pick up as they can scan differently. I noticed when I got home last time that I picked up 5 regular 4 packs and 1 promotional one, but as I had done the self scanning trolley thing they did not pick it up, they have in the past though.

    Any cans of mixers on sale? Tesco had 4x200ml poachers for €2 a few weeks back which was very good.

    Anybody know if Lidl have the Argus Strong back in stock yet? (7.2%) I wanted to go for a look but the queues in the local Lidl here are ridiculous most hours of the day.

    Excellent deal. I really like this beer. There is also the small bottle version which is a lager

    That's a great price, alright.....I get tonic from Amazon in bulk, normally. 24 x 200ml bottles of Fever tree can be had for around £24stg if you keep an eye out. Same with double dutch, which can be got for cheaper again.

    Never tried poacher's well, had to google it. Their site seems to be just a placeholder, I might tweet them to see if you can buy it directly from them.

    Not yesterday they weren't- and also none of the 25% off 6 or more bottles of wine offer that they usually do either........

    There are very few specials running in Dunnes (or elsewhere) in comparison to normal times- I guess their costbase has shot up- and they're saving money by not running offers (other than their 10-off-50 offer- which is ongoing).

    Do you happen to know if they are in store now? I don’t fancy heading there and queueing for ages only to find they are not there.

    Thanks

    Think they normally do their offers on a Tuesday? Maybe given the mayhem, they might put up some offer later in the week? I'm pulling at straws. I'd love 25% back off wine- I have my eye on a few nice Pinot Grigios for when they're on special, the regular price is just too damn high.

    Or ring the store and ask.

    I got some in Clonee earlier ..... but my local in Celbridge didn't have them out on the floor yet so I guess it depends on the store.

    Usually it's Thursday in the papers the offers are displayed, we are in a bit of an unknown now but I'd expect whatever deals are going to be on to be starting tomorrow.

    Thank you, got the double dutch. Much prefer the 200ml bottle than the 150ml cans. Will keep an eye out for fever tree.
