Omit the 50% Green Ginger Wine, then you will have room for 50% more Whisky...
Unless you have a cheapo blend then just drink the 50% Green Ginger Wine straight

To be fair, it was on offer for £20. I did the maths.

This virus starts in the throat, Alcohol kills it so think I will have to have a whiskey every night for medicinal purposes.

You can use that to your advantage

Always pour one for both of you, and when she says not tonight you can just drink them both

For Sat night it was this, but I stopped at 12 o them.. any more can pose a health risk.

Tonight I have been on the Virus & after Tonic.

Post by **Dust Buster** » Sun May 17, 2020 1:29 pm

I'm drinking absolutely nothing today. No alcohol sales since lockdown 51 days ago. I ran out of stock on day two...poor planning on my part. Who expected prohibition for a virus?

Post by **Dust Buster** » Tue Jun 16, 2020 5:24 pm

Trivia question - which country has the longest, single, continuous wine route?

Yes, of course, South Africa

It includes all of the wineries on Route 62: https://route62.co.za/route62-wineries/, which we are not allowed to drive now as we have to stay within our districts (sub-provincial, more like city specific). I look forward to the day when I can travel this route again. For now, I'm enjoying being able to purchase alcohol again from my local retailer.

Post by **colin39** » Tue Jun 16, 2020 7:38 pm

Tonight i will mostly be drinking beer

Post by **Roger** » Tue Jun 16, 2020 11:02 pm

A simple taste for me tonite ! Scotch & Green Ginger Wine, a Whisky Mac or two !

After hanging wall paper today and enjoying a couple of Newcastle Browns, I have settled down to a Jack Daniels (No7) and Coke, with loads of ice !

We're not allowed to buy any alcohol again due to the increase in crashes clogging up beds reserved for C19 patients. Fortunately, I did manage to stock up this time. Now if my government will just remove prohibition in three months time, I just might survive this time.

Post by **Dust Buster** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 7:56 am

From yesterday, alcohol sales are allowed at liquor stores (off-sales) again and for the first time since C19, in restaurants and pubs (max 50 patrons to comply with limited social gatherings).
