rach 1 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I am probably only twice a week at the moment. How about you? Poll is days, post volumes of alcohol if humungous. Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Sometimes it depends on the mood I'm in at the end of the day. If it has been a crap day then I'll have a drink. I like to get home and have a beer, Bass Pale Ale works fine for me, put on some tunes whilst cooking some dinner Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I find that Japanese booze is not drunk with gusto in foreign countries. Last time I went back I took some very attractively bottled and tasty sake with me ... and it was shunned. I don't imagine shochu faring much better. Japanese crackers and dry fish seem to go down much better. I drink every day of the week except Monday. I usually have a hangover on Tuesday morning. It's annoying having a hangover when didn't drink the night before, but certain family members get obstreperous when I don't have my 'o-sake no yasumi'. I have appropriated this term for my own use however. When I'm too busy to have a real holiday, drinking myself stupid at home is the next best alternative. Link to post Share on other sites
slimeypete 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 How much do you drink every day then? I'm usually a couple of times a week. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Not that much. Half a bottle of wine, or two small tinnies of beer, or a third of a bottle of sake. I could happily consume twice those quantities, but try to keep it sensible. Running in the evening is an incentive not to get too sloshed at dinner. Link to post Share on other sites

zebedee 1 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I've been drinking a lot of umeshu liqueur lately, it's really nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Umeshu is tops for your snowboarding hip-flask. Better even than cherry-brandy. (I make my own, with less than the recommended amount of sugar for extra tanginess.) Link to post Share on other sites
gammaman 0 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I`ve been desperatly trying to find a hip flask over here. When I finally think I`ve found one, it turns out to be a bloody ashtray. A bloody ash tray, .....I mean..... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Get yourself to an Alpen or one of those outdoor shops. The Captain Stag brand do them in several sizes. 'ansome, innit? They're known as フラスコ in Japanese. Apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
