It was said tongue in cheek min. :thumbs:

 

I did answer you after all.

 

Great deal this site at the moment with the 50 quid off voucher promotion. Get stuck in.

As was my reply. Aye you did answer. A good answer it was as well.

 

I do think you can tell between a really cheap wine say a 1.99 bottle of pish oot of asda but in a blind taste test I reckon most would struggle, myself included, to tell betweeen a

Had to try Buckfast to see for masel'.

 

Bought 2 for aboot

[phoenix]

FYI

 

The drink of choice for the discerning dosser in Glasgow , in the '60s was - Lanliq , the Buckfast of the day.

 

Short for Lang's Liqueur.....I'll let the locals take over:

 

 

'I believe a Lanliq and hairspray cocktail was just the ticket for instant oblivion, although I imagine that the hangover afterwards must have been pretty spectacular. Haven't seen a bottle of this stuff for years. It appears that Buckfast have well and truly cornered that particular end of the market. There used to be another brand of fortified wine called Eldorado which was also quite popular among the Lanliq-drinking fraternity'.

 

 

In the short spell I had in Glasgow back then , I remember another called Silver Link as a favourite , I think it was rock bottom stuff.

 

 

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band at Green's Playhouse is a fond memory from those times.

Discovered it was the sulphates that was causing the sore heads. Minimal Hangovers now.

 

Wrong.

 

If you dinna want a sore head, do not consume alcohol.

 

Dehydration causes the headache, which is not going to be addressed by the minimal difference between organic wine, whatever the hell that means (the grapes lived a fulfilling life in good conditions and never suffered when they were picked?) and bog standard wine from grapes held against their will in huge cages.

Wrong.

Not entirely true.

 

Just make sure you drink plenty of water when you're drinking.

 

But water is for poofs.

Again, a fallacy.

 

There is no hangover cure, because, to put it as simply as I can for the glib consumers of vast quantities of the f**king stuff that represent 95% of the UK populace, alcohol is in fact poisonous, and your brain is correct to react in the manner it does after you take far too much of it on board, because it believes that the body is under attack, and reacts accordingly.

 

Ergo, no hangover cure exists, the only solution is education, or moderation, which is never going to happen judging by the sheer zeal of some of the posts in this thread for alcohol in any format.

 

I dinna give a f**k if it's expensive or cheap, it's all the f**king same, and ordering and drinking expensive wines does not make you any less of an alcoholic than your jakey who tans 3 litres of white lightning every evening.

A good glass of expensive fine red wine is good for your health actually.

 

As long as it's in moderation and accompanied by good honest healthy fare you'll live long and prosper.

According to whom?

 

Did you know:

 

In Edinburgh in the 1,700's the local hoi polloi all drank red wine, all day, every day, because the water available in the area was ruinous to your health, and by the process of fermentation the poison was removed. So they were, basically, permanently sh*t-faced, resulting in ludicrous differing sentencing for crimes and uproar in court as the drunk court officials battled for attention.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's the best they are going to feel all day.

It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

George Burns

 

Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . . nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.

I never turned to drink. It seemed to turn to me.

I only take a drink on two occasions - when I'm thirsty and when I'm not.

I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars - the rest I just squandered.

A GLASS of wine, yes, a BOTTLE, no. But this never happens in Scotland, and nobody drinks in moderation.

I'm not into practical drudgery, and the effort of going to a post office and attempting to send a parcel, something I've never done, is weighing me down.

I dinna have one.

 

I have an issue with wine snobs.

[Bluto10]

the problem with you tup is you dinna like change.

 

i bet you dinna like brewdog?

scotland needs more pubs like that. pubs that serve stronger and more varied beers - beers with more taste, beers that you saviour and enjoy, even if they are stronger.

also doesnt necessarily need to be stronger foreign beers, go for local english ales which would go down a treat for people who actually like beer.

 

this is preferable to your hooligan fuel gnats piss lager that pubs in scotland specialise in.

 

just to say - i've never been to brewdogs boozers. and only ever had the i.p.a. (in a belgian beer pub where i live).

 

of course education is important, but the set-up of british pubs, aside from a small %age, are not conducive to a relaxed aggro-free atmosphere.

I would never wear the Burberry check these days but 96 was before it started getting faked and becoming a chav fave, those people have a lot to answer for, they've also made stone island virtually unwearable.
