You realise that you're leading me on the path to ruin - next time I'm in Asda ...............

lovely chocolate milk with a dash of vodka/has to be very chilled though.i had two bottles in less than ten minutes.it's the same strength as a can of lagerxxxxxxx(:

.... I would not have done many stupid things!

I know what you mean Lisa - you can only taste toffee in Todka:)) p.s. Not sure I'd like the taste of mud though :))

oh chrissie you talking about that bought a vodka mudshake in asdas .it was lovely.frightning thing was you really could hardly taste the vodka in itxxxxxxxxxx(:

I do not drink and I never have, I am extrovert enough I shudder to think what I would have been like with a drink.Probably would have been kicked out of pubs for making too much noise laughing, Susan

Hey Chrissie....I would lie back and enjoy it....lol BC

I know BC - do you think I can still be saved?:))))

That's it, Chrissie...you are on the road to ruin. ...lol BC

Hi Lisa I very seldom drink alcohol because I don't like the taste, apart from champagne unfortunately, which I can't afford. I still have fun and enjoy myself though. Until 2 weeks ago that is - I have now discovered Todka. It is toffee flavoured vodka, made and sold in Cornwall. I came home with a bottle (most unlike me:)) Chrissie

Lisa, I hasten to add that my Father never drank his own poteen. He kept it for parties, and he was a very mild non-threatening sort of person. So I never saw any bad effects from alcohol while I was growing up. But I can imagine how it might affect one. XX BC

buttercup my father was a publican so grew up in pubs and you see what alcohol does to someones personality after a lot of drink.used to be men that were violent back in those days but slowly women are catching upxxxx):

I like a drink. It does not make me a better or a worse person. My relationship with alcohol is easy. I was brought up in a home where drinking was partytime stuff, not every day, in fact my Father made poteen in our bathroom...dreadful stuff! If I find I am drinking a little more than normal at times, I dont beat myself up about it. BC

I enjoy a few glasses of wine now and then usually just to chill, but don't know what I would do if I became dependant on it. I know a lady who is an alchoholic (dry for over three years now). She beleives that there should be more information about the addictiveness of alcohol and the problems people have getting dry. Apparantly it is more dangerous to come off alcohol than most or all addictive drugs. She was monitored in hospital the whole time she was drying out in case she suffered heart attacks. She saw demons and little 'Chucky ' like people who wanted to be her friend. She can laugh about it now but firmly beleives people should be made aware of the problems of alcohol addiction.

i don't know about you helen.i am always nervous before i go out.not knowing what the night will be like.i know a few people that get nervous before they go out and need alittle dutch couragex(:

There was a time when I liked to have a drink - not to the point where I became an alcoholic - but maybe one a day, until after a road accident even that was enough to affect me until now I hardly ever drink - maybe the occasional beer once a month. Initially it was very hard to attend functions and watch friends imbibing while I had to pluck up the nerve to ask for an orange squash ! These days IF I go to a wedding, a party etc., then I am quite 'at home' asking for a lager at the start of proceedings and carrying it with me until it is time to go home. Now, after 40 years virtually alcohol free I can say that it does nothing for your enjoyment wherever you are and is unnecessary as a confidence-booster for that is purely mental condition and the same state of mind can be achieved with an orange squash - or maybe ONE lager in your hand. I must say that I cannot understand the so-called lager louts who MUST drink. Surely if you want to drink it is because you are thirsty or maybe because you want to be at one with a group - but this can be done with one drink, to drink for drinks sake is to damage yourself and possibly others in the process and also to drain your pocket.
