Title: NFR - need to cut down on your drinking?
Post by: Whitesideup on March 07, 2018, 09:06:44 PM
Some of us, some of the time,  think we should cut down on our drinking. The government tell us that one small sip of beer before a game should be our weekly limit so what can we do?

What I have found is that when you have already imbibed a sufficient quantity, and you have a glass of a particularly good wine in front of you, ( a Wairau Cave in this particular instance) stare at the rim of the wine in glass, and say, "Thank you, my friend, you have served me well, and I respect your contribution to my feeling of wellbeing  this evening.  I shall henceforth refrain from consuming more. " 

Sure fireway of moderating your consumption.  The rest of the  bottle will remain untouched and available for consumption at a later date.

Next week - how to resist tell big porkies after excessive celebrations of Fulham's absolutely fantastic performances over the last few games.

Now where's the port?

I saw a business card the other day.

"ARE YOU AN ALCOHOL"
"DO YOU HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM"

"WE CAN HELP"

"WE OFFER A 24 DELIVERY SERVICE FOR ANY KIND OF ALCOHOL YOU NEED"
"FREE DELIVERY FOR ORDERS OVER $50"

Analysing your wine choice I suggest you try the £3.50 bottle of Zesty White that's also from Tesco where I assume you bought that bottle of NZ sauv blanc.

Very quaffable at half the price.
