Also, I've discovered I dislike (or just don't overly like) those silly drinks where there's about 5% alcohol and lots of sweet, sugary flavoured stuff, like Archers Aqua and WKD and stuff. You can drink lots and they just have no effect. And you end up wasting more money I'm sure of it. The pure shots in smaller quantities are much better. *nods* And WKD blue tastes of blue ice-pops.
I mean, I have no objection to drinking them when they're on offer or around, but I prefer to have a smaller, stronger shot of something instead I think. They're ever so sweet too. Especially the blue ice-pop flavoured ones.

Ooooh. New commenting system. I like. :)
Drinking to excess is not permitted in Judaism, except a couple of times a year: on Purim, one is supposed to get so drunk that they cannot tell the difference between Haman (the really evil guy in the Purim story) and Mordechai (the really good guy in the Purim story); also at Simchat Torah (at the end of Sukkot, Tabernacles) one is supposed to get merry, but not completely plastered.
Also, every week sacramental wine is drunk on the Sabbath. And it is a very strong custom to drink wine on the Sabbath with your meals. I think.
Naomi realises what everybody else realised when they were 14 :p
Yes, well Naomi was drinking stronger stuff when she was 14. :P When I was 14 there wasn't such a thing as all this diluted fool-you-into-paying-more-for-less alcoholic drinks. And it was a good thing. Stronger stuff all the way. :)
"Drinking to excess is not permitted in Judaism, except a couple of times a year."That's lame. In Mattaism, drinking to excess and getting off with random students in taxis is not only permitted, but encouraged.
Just an example of the kind of religion I'm promoting. Kids, sign up today and get a free dildo and a signed photo of Jamie Oliver's mum.
Er. You think that alcopops didn't exist four years ago? Because I remember Hooch adverts from when I was about 7. They existed, you just didn't drink enough or buy enough drink to notice. *shrugs* I've never even bothered with alcopops because I always figured you might as well have a lemonade, but like I said, most people figure that out when they're about 14.
'Stronger stuff' is a poor specification and all. Say what you mean - are we talking straight up vodka, G&T when you're out, downing bottles of wine on your own, whiskey at bedtime, or what?
But they weren't around as much. Of late many many more have been made too.
It doesn't matter where, but I was particularly referring to parties at that point. It doesn't matter, straight vodka if it's a vodka-pop, Archers if it's an aqua. Any drink that doesn't fool you into thinking you are or are not drinking. Beit a brandy when you have a sore throat or want to sleep, or whiskey at bed time, or wine with a meal or on your own or vodka or a G&T (although I'm not as big a fan of G&Ts).
Purim is fun. I think I'm organising a murder mystery for it this year.
