Food What will you be drinking....

[Olgaline]

During the chris-ta'mas oh so holy days? Beer? Wine? Booze, Petrol....all of the above....? Or...No alcohol for me thx! Or ?

Do share, what, why when....example...Wine for dinner, sherry for deseret..whisky for later etc...

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hefty dinners coming for sure, mom and aunt live next door to eachother up north so it's going to be a doubledinner atleast for 5 days

So during dinner, it will most likely be grans home brewed beer. It's kind of like a low-alcohol beer, closest example really. That or just beer, depending on if she's made any. It's a nice lighter version for a dinner beer then regular.
After dinner will most likely be whatever my older brother grabs from the alcohol store(alko) as a after food "melting drink". Again, a term i can't find a solid english substitute Helps yer tummy to make the food bubble away. Most likely atleast one sherry bottle so my bro can say "Sherry Niles?"
As a general thing i buy rum for santamas, mix it with stuff like coffee/pepsi max/etc. That's the "socialising" drink so to speak.
Then there's sauna ofcourse, that'll probably be a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_drink moment. Nice refresher/coolant.

Repeat each day most likely, no heavy drinking, but just something. Mostly works to aid with full tummy/sauna refresher.

Oh yeah, mulled wine, gonna be lots of that, alcohol based most likely. And then any special drinkies people bring/buy.

I just got a bottle of this. It might survive long enough to get to chrimblé....but it is very very good, so who knows

 

[Raven]

Wine mostly, though the 6 Christmas cakes I made contain 750ml of whisky between them so a decent amount off that too.

 

[Moriath]

Christmas day before about six pm nothing cause I will be driving. Once back I might invest in some grey goose for the special day. Vodka is my drink of choice.

 

[Job]

I have been so pissed on Christmas eve for 30 years that I have missed 90% of Christmas dinners and had to heat up the remains the next day.

 

[miri]

Snowballs and Blood Marys for breakfast, wine for lunch, gin for the evening.

Right so in other words...at some airport ?

 

[CorNokZ]

Most likely some Belgian brew my dad picks up at belgiskbryg.dk, dunno if you know it @Olgaline? They have a nice little basement full of beers you can't find anywhere else. Once every year they drive down to Belgium and visit a bunch of micro breweries and picks up a whole lot of beer. And most of it is excellent, nothing compares to it

 

[Hawkwind]

not sure tbh, will at the Jasna ski resort in Slovakia. Beer, wine and whatever we take with I guess.

Not all that familiar with Bruichladdich bottlings due to it having been sold in danish supermarks etc...went tits up for them, so now they expect/want us to sell it in wine/liquer stores...

They have some..ehm..well...interresting local wines in Slovakia. Primarily the ones made from the Modrá grape, aka Blaufränkisch (I think?) Do try them tbh. the resorts is bound to have some, or at least they should.
