Hmmm, a drinking etiquette angle eh Gaffer?!?!? Well, generally I consider the following to be correct: Football Season: Generally Bitter with Guinness allowed if you start off feeling bloated or have a hangover, but only for a maximum of two rounds. During December through to end of Feb, stronger winter ales, occasionally leaning into Dark Belgian beers in front of a roaring fire is acceptable. Red wine OK for poncey dinner parties, but only when mixed with beer and finished off with spirits. Lager only allowed immediately following five a side football or other strenuous activity (Well you can't smoke indoors anymore so a can of chilled Stella after sex should surely be the replacement!!!!!) Non Footy season, Lighter beers or, if extremely hot lager or cider (For old times sake the two together with a dash of blackcurrent should be encouraged!). However Cider is the BBQ must have, nicely chilled but not with any bloody poncey ice in, it just waters it doen and is for girls. White wine is an absolute no go, unless the host has run out of anything else alcoholic, including his selection of out of date Chocolate liquers from the previous Christmas. As it is a British summer, hand pulled ales are still a perfectly acceptable option but have to be drunk in the beer garden, even if it is only 5 degreed centigrade! If I get to power, that will be law! ;-) StigOfTheDrinkingDump _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
